About Hedon Nursery School

Hedon Nursery School is one of only four state nursery schools in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and every single one of them holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. That means this school is not an outlier; it is part of a small, high-performing group within the local authority. The school’s most recent inspection, an ungraded visit in 2023, confirmed that it “remains Outstanding,” a standard it has maintained since at least its previous graded inspection in 2013. With just 75 children on roll aged two to five, it is a deliberately small setting. The headteacher, Claire White, leads a school where early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness have all been judged as Grade 1 (Outstanding). For parents in the area, the headline takeaway is clear: this is a nursery that sits at the very top of the local authority’s provision, but it is not alone — it shares that distinction with three other nurseries in the East Riding.
