Brunswick Nursery School
About Brunswick Nursery School
Brunswick Nursery School is one of only three state nurseries in Cambridgeshire rated Outstanding by Ofsted, out of seven such schools in the local authority. That puts it in a strong minority — 43% of the county’s nurseries share its top grade, meaning competition for places among the best-rated settings is tight. The school’s most recent inspection, an ungraded visit in September 2022, confirmed it “remains Outstanding,” and its previous graded inspection in 2012 awarded top marks across leadership, management, and early years provision. With just 81 pupils on roll and a very low proportion of children eligible for free school meals (3.7%), the school serves a relatively advantaged catchment. For parents comparing headline metrics, the standout fact is simple: this is one of the highest-rated nurseries in Cambridgeshire, and the nearest other Outstanding option, Colleges Nursery School, is 2.3 km away.
