About Ribblesdale Nursery School

Parents considering Ribblesdale Nursery School will find a setting that has clearly earned the trust of local families. The school is oversubscribed, with 56 children on roll in a nursery that serves the Ribble Valley area of Lancashire. While the Department for Education does not publish a Parent View survey score for this school, the fact that it is oversubscribed is a strong signal of local demand. The school is led by headteacher Susan Allan and caters for children aged two to five. It is a state-funded nursery with a mixed intake and no religious character. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained, following a graded inspection in December 2014 that awarded an overall Good rating. Leadership and management were rated Outstanding in that graded inspection, which gives parents confidence in the school’s direction.
