Lord Street Nursery School
About Lord Street Nursery School
Lord Street Nursery School sits within a local authority where only two of the six nursery schools are rated Outstanding, and this Derby state nursery is not one of them. Its most recent graded inspection, carried out in 2013, awarded an overall effectiveness rating of Good, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. That puts it in the middle tier of the LA’s nursery provision, a notch below the nearest Outstanding school, Harrington Nursery School, which is two kilometres away. For parents comparing headline metrics, the key takeaway is that Lord Street is a solid, reliably Good option rather than a top-rated outlier. With 72 children aged two to five on roll, it is a relatively small setting, and its mixed-gender, non-religious character means it serves a broad cross-section of local families.
