About Hampden Way Nursery School

Hampden Way Nursery School holds the highest possible Ofsted rating, having been judged Outstanding in its most recent graded inspection in 2013 and confirmed to have maintained that standard in an ungraded inspection in 2023. This places it among an elite group: it is one of just four nursery schools in the Barnet local authority to hold an Outstanding rating, and there are no other nursery schools in the borough with a lower grade. The school’s leadership and management were also rated Outstanding in the 2013 inspection, and the early years provision was judged Outstanding in the previous inspection of 2010. For a nursery catering to children aged two to four, this consistent top-tier rating is the single most informative metric available, signalling that the quality of care and early education has been independently verified as excellent over more than a decade.
