Fairfield Nursery School

About Fairfield Nursery School

Fairfield Nursery School is a state-funded nursery in Hyndburn, Lancashire, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with Good marks across every category including quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership. That places it in the middle tier of the 24 nursery schools in Lancashire, where 8 are rated Outstanding. The school has slipped from its previous Outstanding rating in 2012, but it is worth noting that the bar for early years provision has risen considerably since then. With just 72 children aged 2 to 5, it is a small setting where the headteacher, Sacha Walker-Byrne, leads a team that inspectors found maintains strong behaviour and positive attitudes among the youngest pupils. The school does not publish Progress 8 or KS2 SATs data because it serves pre-school children only, so the most useful headline metric is its Ofsted grade, which is solidly Good and in line with the majority of Lancashire nurseries.
