About Chapel Street Nursery School

Chapel Street Nursery School is a state-funded nursery in Luton for children aged two to four, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains a Good school. That puts it in the majority of its local authority peers: of the six nurseries in Luton, none currently hold an Outstanding rating, so a Good judgement here is the highest available in the area. The school has held this rating consistently across its two most recent inspections, with the previous graded inspection in 2013 also awarding Good overall. With 148 pupils on roll and a free school meal eligibility rate of 30.3%, Chapel Street serves a community with above-average economic need, yet its leadership and management have been judged Good in both inspections. The headteacher, Sarah Gilbert, leads a setting that has maintained its quality over a decade, which is a solid indicator of stability for parents looking for reliable early years provision in Luton.
