About Hardmoor Nursery & Early Years Centre - Part of the Learning Federation Partnership of Schools

Hardmoor Nursery & Early Years Centre is the only state-funded nursery in Southampton, so there is no local authority average to compare it against directly. That makes its Ofsted rating of Good, awarded in its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and confirmed as unchanged in an ungraded inspection in 2023, the sole benchmark for the area. What stands out is that leadership and management were rated Outstanding in that 2023 visit, a step up from the Good grade given in the previous inspection in 2010. With 132 children aged 0 to 5, the school operates as part of the Learning Federation Partnership of Schools, and its leadership is shared between Gerida Montague and Joanna McNicholas. The nursery serves a mixed cohort and does not have a religious character.
