About Gloucester Nursery School

Gloucester Nursery School is one of just five state nursery schools in West Northamptonshire, and it stands out as the only one in the local authority currently rated Good by Ofsted — none of its peers hold an Outstanding rating. The school serves children aged 2 to 5 and is led by headteacher Lisa Jeffery. With 94 pupils on roll, it is a relatively small setting, which allows for a focused early years environment. The school is non-denominational and operates as a mixed-gender state nursery. Its most recent graded inspection took place in June 2025, where it received Good ratings across all four assessed categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This marks a change from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was judged Outstanding overall. The current report reflects a solid, well-run provision that maintains strong standards in early years education.
