About Reddish Vale Nursery School

Reddish Vale Nursery School is a state-funded nursery in Stockport for children aged two to four, and it is currently operating with 132 pupils on roll. That figure is worth noting because the school is one of only three state nurseries in the entire local authority, and it is the only one rated Outstanding. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 4.7%, which is notably low compared with national averages for this age group, suggesting the intake draws from a relatively affluent catchment. Demand appears strong: the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in December 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and the parent view survey, collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows 100% of the 16 respondents would recommend the school. That kind of unanimity is rare and signals a community that is genuinely pleased with what is on offer.
