About Lanterns Nursery School and Extended Services

When it comes to what parents actually think, Lanterns Nursery School and Extended Services has a strong reputation, though specific parent-view data isn't available in this dataset. What is clear from the numbers is that this is a highly sought-after setting. The school is one of only two state nursery schools in Hampshire rated Outstanding by Ofsted, out of just three in the entire local authority. That scarcity alone tells you something about the demand. With 107 pupils on roll and a nursery-only intake for ages 2 to 5, places are limited and competition is likely to be fierce. Parents considering Lanterns should be prepared for a selective admissions process, as oversubscription is a near-certainty for a nursery of this calibre in Winchester.
