About Aughton Early Years Centre

Aughton Early Years Centre is a state nursery in Rotherham for children aged 2 to 5, and it currently has 130 pupils on roll. That figure is worth noting because the school is a nursery, not a primary, so its capacity is naturally smaller, but the demand signal from parents is clear: in the most recent Parent View survey, every single respondent said they would recommend the school to other parents. That's 100% of the 41 families who took part. The school's intake is mixed, and while the data doesn't give a specific free school meals percentage for Aughton itself, it's useful context that the local authority has only two nurseries rated Outstanding out of a total of three nurseries in the area. That means Aughton sits in a small, high-performing local nursery landscape. The school is non-religious, led by headteacher Andrea Smith, and its facilities include an outdoor playground, a library, a Forest School area, and a chapel, which is unusual for a nursery setting.
