About Chalvey Nursery School & Early Years Centre
Chalvey Nursery School & Early Years Centre is one of only two nurseries in Slough to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, placing it among the top tier of the five state nursery schools in the local authority. Its nearest Outstanding-rated counterpart is Slough Centre Nursery School, located 1.5 kilometres away, meaning parents in the area have two exceptional early years options within a short distance. Headteacher Emma Lister leads this mixed-gender nursery for children aged two to four, which currently has 96 pupils on roll. The school’s most recent inspection, an ungraded visit in December 2024, confirmed that standards have been maintained since its previous graded inspection in July 2019, when it was awarded Outstanding overall. Leadership and management were also rated Outstanding in that graded inspection, reinforcing the school’s strong reputation in Slough’s early years landscape.
