Cambridge Nursery School
About Cambridge Nursery School
Cambridge Nursery School, a state nursery in Sefton for children aged two to four, was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, which took place in 2012. This marked a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2010, when the school was judged to require improvement overall. The 2012 inspection gave top marks of Good for both leadership and management and overall effectiveness. In a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021, Ofsted confirmed that the school remains Good, meaning the quality of education has been sustained over time. As a nursery, the school does not participate in national curriculum assessments like SATs or GCSEs, so the most informative metric here is the Ofsted trajectory itself: from Requires Improvement to Good, and then holding that standard. It is one of only three state nurseries in Sefton, and none of them hold an Outstanding rating, placing Cambridge Nursery School in a strong position locally for early years provision.
