Caverstede Nursery School
About Caverstede Nursery School
If you are looking for a nursery where parents are overwhelmingly positive, Caverstede Nursery School makes a strong impression. In the most recent Parent View survey, every single one of the 50 respondents said they would recommend the school, with none dissenting. That 100% recommendation rate is backed by very high satisfaction scores across the board: 80% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 88% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. The school is also clearly popular locally; as the only state-funded nursery in Peterborough rated Outstanding by Ofsted, it is the sole provider in its category to hold that top grade, which likely contributes to its appeal. With 110 pupils on roll, it is a relatively small setting, and the strong parent endorsement suggests that families feel well supported from the start.
