About Slough Centre Nursery School

Slough Centre Nursery School is one of only two nursery schools in Slough rated Outstanding by Ofsted, placing it in a small, high-performing group within the local authority. Slough has five state nursery schools in total, so this school sits among the top tier of early years provision in the area. Its nearest Outstanding-rated peer is Chalvey Nursery School & Early Years Centre, located just 1.5 kilometres away. The school is led by headteacher Aisha Lateef and caters for children aged two to four, with a mixed intake of 107 pupils. It is a state-funded nursery with no religious character, and it does not offer boarding. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection took place in July 2025, and inspectors judged it Outstanding across every graded category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This represents a continuation of its strong track record, as its previous inspection in December 2013 also awarded an Outstanding rating for overall effectiveness.
