About Oaklands Nursery School

Oaklands Nursery School holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. In its latest graded inspection in 2013, inspectors awarded top marks for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. A subsequent ungraded inspection in May 2023 confirmed the school remains Outstanding, meaning there has been no decline in quality since the previous full inspection. This is a notable achievement in Staffordshire, where only one of the two nursery schools in the local authority currently holds the highest Ofsted rating. With just 26 pupils on roll, the school operates on an intimate scale that allows for close attention to each child's development.
