About Sheringham Nursery School & Children's Centre

Sheringham Nursery School & Children's Centre is one of only seven state nursery schools in the London Borough of Newham, and it stands out as one of six in the local authority rated Outstanding by Ofsted. That puts it in a very small, high-performing group. Its nearest Outstanding-rated neighbour is St Stephen's Nursery School, 2.4 kilometres away, but Sheringham holds its own distinct place in the local landscape. Headteacher Lindsey Foster leads a mixed-gender nursery for children aged two to five, with 191 pupils on roll. The school operates as both a nursery and a children's centre, which means it sits at the heart of early years provision in the area. For parents in Newham looking for a state nursery with the highest possible Ofsted rating, Sheringham is one of a handful of options — and the only one in its immediate vicinity to hold that top grade.
