About Aclet Close Nursery School

Aclet Close Nursery School, a state nursery in County Durham for children aged two to four, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2017 and an ungraded inspection in 2022 that confirmed the school remains Good. This is a slight shift from its previous Outstanding rating in 2014, but the school continues to perform well within its local authority, where six out of ten nurseries are rated Outstanding. With just 65 pupils on roll, the school offers a small, focused early years setting. The most telling metric for a nursery of this type is not exam results but the Ofsted leadership and management judgement, which was also rated Good in 2017, suggesting consistent oversight and a stable environment for very young children.
