About New Mills Nursery School

New Mills Nursery School, a state nursery in High Peak, Derbyshire, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent graded inspections. The most recent ungraded inspection in January 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained, with leadership and management also rated Good. For a nursery of just 42 children aged 3 to 5, the most telling metric is the parent view, which is overwhelmingly positive: 100% of the 16 respondents would recommend the school. Specifically, 94% strongly agreed that their child is happy and feels safe, and 88% strongly agreed that their child does well here. This near-unanimous parental endorsement is a powerful indicator of the school's day-to-day success, even in the absence of formal exam data for this age group.
