About North Islington Nursery School

North Islington Nursery School serves children from 0 to 5 years old and is rated Good by Ofsted, which puts it in the middle of the pack for Islington’s nursery provision. The local authority has four nursery schools in total, and only one of them holds an Outstanding rating — Kate Greenaway Nursery School and Children’s Centre, about 3.4 kilometres away. North Islington’s most recent graded inspection, in 2012, gave it an overall effectiveness score of 2 (Good), with leadership and management also scoring 2. That’s a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2010, when the school was rated Requires Improvement overall, with early years provision scoring 3. The school underwent an ungraded inspection in January 2023, which confirmed it remains Good. For parents comparing nurseries in Islington, this school offers a solid, above-average option — not the top-rated in the borough, but a reliable choice that has demonstrably improved over time.
