Rosegrove Nursery School
About Rosegrove Nursery School
Rosegrove Nursery School sits within Lancashire’s local authority, one of eight nursery schools in the county to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted out of a total of 24 such schools. Its nearest Outstanding neighbour is Ightenhill Nursery School, just half a kilometre away, placing Rosegrove in a cluster of strong early years provision in the Burnley area. The school is a state-funded nursery for children aged two to five, with a mixed intake and no religious character. Headteacher Sarah Jones leads a relatively small setting of 90 pupils, which allows for a focused, personalised approach to early education. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, confirmed that standards remain high, maintaining the Outstanding rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections.
