About Holmewood Nursery School

Of the 104 children at Holmewood Nursery School, the school’s parent-view data isn’t published in this dataset, but its oversubscription ratio is a strong signal of local demand. The school is one of only five state nursery schools in Lambeth, and it holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted — a distinction shared by just four nurseries in the borough. That scarcity, combined with its central location, means places are highly sought after. The school serves children aged two to four and is led by headteacher Luke Page. With 10.9 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake reflects a genuinely mixed community. The school’s most recent ungraded inspection, in July 2023, confirmed it remains Outstanding across all areas, including early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness — a rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in December 2014.
