Hart Hill Nursery School
About Hart Hill Nursery School
Hart Hill Nursery School in Luton is a state nursery for children aged two to five, currently home to 104 pupils. With a capacity that appears to be comfortably filled, the school serves a notably small proportion of disadvantaged families: just 1.9 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure far below the national average for state-funded nursery and primary schools. This suggests a catchment that is relatively affluent for the area. Demand is clearly strong — the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 noted it 'remains Good (Improving)', and the fact that Luton has no other outstanding nurseries among its six state nursery schools means Hart Hill is one of the strongest options locally for early years education. The school is mixed and non-religious, with a headteacher, Katey Thompson, who has been leading the school through this period of improvement.
