About Goldfield Infants' and Nursery School

Goldfield Infants' and Nursery School is clearly popular with its families. Of the 120 parents who responded to Ofsted's Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, a striking 95% said they would recommend the school to other parents. That level of endorsement is backed up by the numbers on the ground: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 135 applications for just 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.29. Among those applications, 70 were first-preference choices, and all 59 places went to first-preference families. The individual survey responses paint a similarly positive picture. 94% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and a combined 94% felt their child is safe. On communication, 97% agreed the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 94% felt they are kept informed about their child's progress. These are strong signals that the school is meeting the expectations of its community.
