About Shenley Fields Nursery School

Shenley Fields Nursery School holds the highest possible Ofsted rating of Outstanding, a grade it earned in its most recent graded inspection in 2014 and has maintained through an ungraded inspection in December 2024, where inspectors confirmed that standards are being upheld. The school’s early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness were all judged Outstanding. This is a significant achievement in Birmingham, where only 17 out of 27 state nursery schools currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school’s most informative metric for parents is the Parent View survey, completed by 25 respondents between September 2024 and September 2025, which shows that 100% of parents would recommend the school. An extraordinary 92% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion strongly agreed that their child feels safe. These figures paint a clear picture of a nursery where children are thriving emotionally and socially.
