About Alver Valley Infant and Nursery School

Parents considering Alver Valley Infant and Nursery School will find strong signals of satisfaction from those already there. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, a striking 94% of the 16 respondents said they would recommend the school. That confidence is backed up by individual responses: every single parent agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy and feels safe, with 75% strongly agreeing on both counts. The school is also clearly popular in the local area. For the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 81 applications for just 41 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 98. Of those, 40 were first-preference applications, and 40 first-preference offers were made, meaning almost every family who put it first got a place, but competition for those spots is real.
