About Randolph Beresford Early Years Centre

Randolph Beresford Early Years Centre is one of just four nursery schools in Hammersmith and Fulham, and it shares the highest possible Ofsted rating with all of them. The school sits in a local landscape where every state nursery is rated Outstanding, meaning competition for places is stiff among the top tier. Its nearest Outstanding neighbour is Vanessa Nursery School, just one kilometre away. Headteacher Michele Barrett leads a mixed-gender nursery for children aged one to five, with 130 pupils on roll. More than a quarter of those children (26.1%) are eligible for free school meals, which is a higher proportion than the national average for early years settings, reflecting the school's role in supporting families across the borough. The school is non-religious, with no formal religious character, and it offers a full range of early years provision rather than being attached to a primary school.
