About Pembury House Nursery School

Pembury House Nursery School stands out in Haringey for a simple reason: it is one of only four nursery schools in the local authority, and every single one of them is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. That means the school is not exceptional within its own peer group, but the peer group itself is exceptional — every nursery school in Haringey holds the top grade. For parents looking at early years provision in the borough, this is a remarkable baseline. The school itself, led by headteacher Ruth Doak, was last graded Outstanding in its 2017 graded inspection, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Outstanding. That consistency matters. With 136 pupils aged 2 to 5, Pembury House is a small, focused setting. Its nearest Outstanding neighbour is Rowland Hill Nursery School, 1.7 km away, so competition for places is likely to be local rather than borough-wide.
