About Basnett Street Nursery School

Basnett Street Nursery School is a state nursery in Burnley, Lancashire, for children aged three to five, and it stands out from the local average in a notable way. While the local authority of Lancashire has 8 outstanding-rated nurseries out of 24 total, Basnett Street itself was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025. However, its previous inspection in 2013 awarded it an Outstanding grade, meaning the school has moved from the top tier to a still-strong Good rating. This places it among the majority of local nurseries that are not currently outstanding, but its history suggests a consistently high standard. The school is led by headteacher Lindsay Ingham and has 103 pupils on roll. For parents comparing options, this is a solid, well-regarded choice that has held a strong reputation over time, even if it no longer holds the highest possible Ofsted grade.
