Eduscope verdict

Worth a visit, with questions

Popular and well run on paper, but the top grade is old and recent results are mixed.

Illustrative example. Our scoring isn't live yet, so these ratings are not this school's.

DfE and Ofsted data, 2024 to 2025How we work this out

Good to know

  • Registered with Ofsted, which last visited in February 2023.
  • Room for 36 children, so it's one of the bigger settings nearby.
  • Open since 1994. An established nursery rather than a new one.

Worth checking

  • Little data. Nurseries publish far less than schools, so a visit matters more.
