About Selly Oak Nursery School

Selly Oak Nursery School is one of 17 nursery schools in Birmingham rated Outstanding by Ofsted, out of 27 in the local authority. That puts it in the top tier of early years provision in the city, and it’s the only nursery school in its immediate area to hold that grade — the next nearest Outstanding nursery, Weoley Castle, is 2.5 km away. The school serves children aged 2 to 7, which is unusual for a nursery, and its most recent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Outstanding. With just 77 pupils on roll and 9.5% eligible for free school meals, it’s a small setting where the headteacher, Amy Findlay, leads a team that has held the top Ofsted grade since at least 2010. The school’s early years provision and leadership and management were both graded Outstanding in its previous graded inspection, and the 2023 visit found no reason to change that.
