Brookhill Nursery School
About Brookhill Nursery School
Brookhill Nursery School is one of only four state nursery schools in Barnet, and all four are rated Outstanding by Ofsted — so it is in excellent company. The school’s most recent inspection, an ungraded visit in May 2023, confirmed that it remains Outstanding, a rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2013. For a nursery serving children aged two to five, there are no headline metrics like Progress 8 or KS2 SATs to compare against the LA average, but the fact that every single nursery in the borough shares the top Ofsted grade tells you something about the quality of early years provision in Barnet. Brookhill is a mixed, state-funded nursery with 123 pupils, led by headteacher Kelly Brooker. It does not have a religious character, and its age range is strictly nursery — there is no reception or primary phase attached.
