Phoenix Nursery School
About Phoenix Nursery School
Phoenix Nursery School, a state nursery in Wolverhampton for children aged three to five, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, which places it in the majority of the local authority's seven nursery schools. With four nurseries in Wolverhampton rated Outstanding, Phoenix is not among the very top tier, but it is also not an outlier — Good is the second-highest possible grade. The school's most recent graded inspection, in March 2014, gave it Good marks for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. A subsequent ungraded inspection in January 2024 confirmed that the school remains Good, meaning it has sustained its quality over a decade. For parents comparing options, this consistency is a solid indicator, though those seeking the highest Ofsted rating may want to look at Eastfield Nursery School, which is 1.9 kilometres away and holds an Outstanding grade.
