About Acacia Nursery

Acacia Nursery is one of only three state nursery schools in Waltham Forest, and it shares the highest possible Ofsted rating with both of its local peers — all three are rated Outstanding. The nearest of these is Church Hill Nursery School, 3.3 kilometres away. Headteacher Maureen Okoye leads a mixed-gender nursery for children aged two to five, with 116 pupils on roll. The school sits within a local authority where every state nursery has achieved the top Ofsted grade, placing Acacia Nursery firmly within a strong local early years landscape. Its most recent inspection, in June 2023, awarded Outstanding across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This marks an upgrade from its previous inspection in 2016, when the school was rated Good overall, with leadership and management already judged Outstanding at that time.
