About Kintore Way Nursery School and Children's Centre

Kintore Way Nursery School and Children’s Centre in Southwark holds the highest possible Ofsted rating of Outstanding, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2013. The school’s most recent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Outstanding, with leadership and management also judged Outstanding. This places Kintore Way among an elite group: only two out of five nursery schools in Southwark currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school’s journey to this top tier is notable — its previous graded inspection in 2010 rated overall effectiveness as Good, with early years provision and leadership both scored at 2 (Good). The jump to Outstanding across all measurable categories in 2013 represents a significant improvement, and the school has held that standard ever since. For a nursery catering to children aged two to four, this consistency is a strong signal of quality early years education.
