Maidenhead Nursery School
About Maidenhead Nursery School
Maidenhead Nursery School is one of only three state nursery schools in the Windsor and Maidenhead local authority, and all three are rated Outstanding by Ofsted. That puts it in a very small, high-performing group. The school itself received an Outstanding rating in its most recent graded inspection, a step up from the Good rating it held in its previous graded inspection. While the local authority doesn't publish average Progress 8 or KS2 scores for nursery schools (those metrics apply to older year groups), the school's own Ofsted record is clear: leadership and management are Outstanding, and the overall effectiveness is Outstanding. For a nursery setting, that's the highest possible endorsement. The school's most recent ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains Outstanding, so parents can be confident the quality hasn't slipped since the last full inspection.
