About Columbia Market Nursery School

If you're a parent in Tower Hamlets looking for a nursery place, the experience of other families is a strong signal. Columbia Market Nursery School is a state nursery for children aged 2 to 5, and it is clearly in demand. The school is oversubscribed, with 52 pupils on roll, and while the data doesn't include a specific parent recommendation percentage, the fact that it is full suggests strong local confidence. The school is one of only three nurseries in the local authority rated Outstanding by Ofsted, out of five total, placing it in a very select group. Its nearest Outstanding neighbour, Alice Model Nursery School, is 2.1 km away, so Columbia Market serves a distinct pocket of the borough. The headteacher is Kim Waters, and the school has a non-religious character, making it a straightforward option for families from any background.
