About Abercromby Nursery School

Abercromby Nursery School has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in March 2023, a significant improvement on its previous Good rating from 2016. The school now holds the highest possible mark across every inspected category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all received Outstanding judgements. This places Abercromby among an elite group within Liverpool’s nursery landscape — of the five state-funded nursery schools in the local authority, only four currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school’s headteacher, Natalie Nichols, leads a setting that caters for 83 children aged two to five, and the inspection report notes that the early years provision is of the highest standard. Because this is a nursery school, there are no formal exam metrics such as SATs or Progress 8 scores to report; the Ofsted judgement itself is the single most authoritative measure of academic and developmental outcomes for this age group.
