About Peartree Way Nursery School

Peartree Way Nursery School sits within Hertfordshire’s early years landscape, one of 14 state nursery schools in the local authority. Of those, nine hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, placing Peartree Way among the five rated Good — a solid position in a competitive field. The school serves 105 children aged two to five in Stevenage, with a mixed intake and no religious character. Its headteacher, Sian Gardiner, leads a setting that has maintained a consistent standard: the most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2024, confirmed the school remains Good, matching the rating it received in its previous graded inspection back in 2014. While the top-performing peers in the LA are not named in the data, the fact that nearly two-thirds of similar schools locally are rated Outstanding suggests Peartree Way operates in a high-achieving environment, where Good provision is still well-regarded but not the ceiling.
