About Chertsey Nursery School

Chertsey Nursery School is one of just four state nursery schools in Surrey, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains a Good school, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded and ungraded inspections. With only two nurseries in the local authority rated Outstanding, this places Chertsey Nursery School in a strong position relative to its peers, though it does not quite reach the top tier. The school serves 105 children aged two to five, with 7.9 per cent eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives a sense of the community it draws from in Runnymede. Its headteacher, Donna Harwood-Duffy, leads a setting that has maintained a Good rating for early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness since at least 2015, according to Ofsted records. For parents weighing up nursery options in Surrey, this school offers a reliably solid choice, though those seeking an Outstanding rating may need to look further afield.
