About Freshfield Nursery School

Freshfield Nursery School is one of only three state nursery schools in Stockport, and while it currently holds a Good rating from Ofsted, its most recent graded inspection in 2014 awarded it Outstanding across the board. That earlier inspection gave the school a perfect score of 1 for both overall effectiveness and leadership and management. The 2024 ungraded inspection confirmed the school remains Good, with early years provision, leadership and management all rated Good. This places Freshfield in a strong position locally: of the three nurseries in the borough, only one — Reddish Vale Nursery School, 3.5 km away — currently holds an Outstanding rating. For parents in Stockport, Freshfield offers a proven track record of high-quality early years education, even if its headline rating has shifted from Outstanding to Good in the intervening decade.
