About Langley Moor Nursery School

Langley Moor Nursery School, a state nursery in County Durham for children aged two to five, holds the highest possible Ofsted rating: Outstanding. This is not a one-off achievement; the school has maintained this top grade across its two most recent inspections, in 2017 and 2024. In the most recent graded inspection, every single category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management — was judged Outstanding. This puts the school in an elite group within the local authority: only six out of ten nurseries in County Durham currently hold an Outstanding rating. With just 60 pupils on roll, the school offers a small, focused environment where the quality of early years provision is clearly a priority.
