About Central Community Nursery School

Central Community Nursery School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The most recent graded inspection took place in 2013, where the school received a 2 for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. An ungraded inspection in March 2023 confirmed that the school continues to meet the Good standard. This is a solid outcome for a state nursery in Derby, where only two out of six similar schools have achieved the highest Outstanding rating. The nearest Outstanding-rated nursery, Whitecross Nursery School, is just 0.4 kilometres away, so parents in the area have a strong local alternative if they are seeking that top grade. However, Central Community’s consistent Good rating over a decade suggests reliable quality rather than a flash in the pan.
