Blagdon Nursery School

About Blagdon Nursery School

Blagdon Nursery School is a state-funded nursery in Reading, with Joanne Budge as headteacher, catering for 158 children aged two to five. That number is worth noting because the school’s capacity data isn’t provided, so we can’t say how oversubscribed it is, but the fact that it’s a nursery with a dedicated SEN unit and a range of specialist facilities suggests it’s a well-used local resource. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.3%, which is relatively modest compared with the national average for state nurseries, and likely reflects the demographic mix of the local area. The school is mixed and has no religious character, so it’s open to all families in Reading. Demand signals are harder to read without admissions data, but the school’s Outstanding Ofsted rating and its position as one of only four Outstanding nurseries out of five in the local authority strongly suggest it’s a popular choice for parents seeking early years provision.
