About Redcliffe Childrens Centre and Maintained Nursery School
If you are a parent looking for a nursery in Bristol, the experience of other families is a strong signal, and Redcliffe Childrens Centre and Maintained Nursery School has a powerful one: 100% of parents who responded to the most recent Ofsted parent view would recommend the school. This is an unusually high figure and suggests a very satisfied community. The school is also heavily oversubscribed, with 134 children on roll, which for a nursery is a clear indicator of local demand. Run by headteacher Samuel Williams, this state-funded nursery for children aged 2 to 5 is one of only three nurseries in the Bristol local authority area to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, out of a total of 12 similar settings. Its nearest Outstanding neighbour is St Pauls Nursery School & Children's Centre, 1.9 km away, so competition for places is strong across the city.
