About Edith Kerrison Nursery School

Edith Kerrison Nursery School is one of seven state nursery schools in Newham, a London borough where six of those nurseries currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself is rated Good, placing it just below the top tier in a strong local landscape. Its nearest Outstanding-rated peer is St Stephen's Nursery School, 2.6 kilometres away. Headteacher Joanne Aylett leads a mixed-gender nursery for children aged two to four, with 129 pupils on roll. The school's most recent graded inspection took place in 2012, when it was judged Outstanding across all areas, including early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness. A subsequent ungraded inspection in January 2023 confirmed that the school remains Good, meaning it has sustained strong performance since its previous top rating. For parents in Newham weighing up nursery options, Edith Kerrison sits in a competitive field, with most local nurseries rated Outstanding, but its own record shows consistent quality over more than a decade.
