Maytree Nursery School
About Maytree Nursery School
Maytree Nursery School in Lambeth is a state-funded nursery for children aged two to four, currently home to 85 pupils. With capacity data not provided, the school’s size relative to its potential intake is unclear, but its popularity can be inferred from the local context: Lambeth has only five nursery schools in total, and four of them — including Maytree — hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15.8%, a figure that sits below the national average for primary schools (around 23%) but should be read with caution given the nursery age group and the fact that FSM eligibility at this stage often reflects broader household income patterns in the borough. The school’s religious character is listed as ‘Does not apply’, and it operates as a mixed-gender setting. While no specific admissions oversubscription data is available, the combination of a strong Ofsted record and limited local nursery options suggests demand is likely healthy.
