Hornsea Nursery School
About Hornsea Nursery School
Hornsea Nursery School is a state nursery in East Riding of Yorkshire that serves children aged two to four, and it is clearly well-regarded by the families who use it. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, the school achieved the highest possible rating of Outstanding across every category, including quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. This marks a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2014, when it was rated Good overall. The school is also notably oversubscribed, with 79 pupils on roll, which in a local authority where all four state nurseries hold an Outstanding rating suggests strong local demand. Parents looking for early years provision in the area will find a school that has consistently demonstrated high standards and has the confidence of the community, as reflected in its inspection trajectory and popularity.
