About Henry Allen Nursery School

Henry Allen Nursery School is one of just two state nursery schools in Buckinghamshire, and both hold the highest possible Ofsted rating, placing it at the very top of its local landscape. Serving children aged two to five, this small mixed-gender nursery operates within the Buckinghamshire local authority and, alongside its sole peer, represents the entirety of the state nursery provision in the area. With only 86 pupils on roll, it offers an intimate early years setting that stands out for its consistent excellence. The school’s most recent inspection, conducted in May 2024, reaffirmed its Outstanding status across every category, including quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. This marks a continuation of the Outstanding rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2017, demonstrating sustained high performance over time. For parents seeking a state-funded nursery option in Buckinghamshire, Henry Allen is one of only two choices, and both are rated Outstanding.
