About Somerset Nursery School and Children's Centre
Somerset Nursery School and Children's Centre in Wandsworth is one of only three state nursery schools in the borough rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and it earned that top grade in its most recent graded inspection back in 2014. The school's most recent check-up, an ungraded inspection in 2023, confirmed it 'remains Outstanding' across the board. That consistency is notable: in its previous graded inspection in 2011, the school was rated Good, so the jump to Outstanding represents real progress. For a nursery taking children from age two to five, the key metric is the early years provision, and here Ofsted gave the highest possible mark of 1 (Outstanding). Leadership and management also scored a 1. With only 63 pupils on roll, this is a small, focused setting where the headteacher, Kellie Schrader, oversees a team that has clearly sustained high standards over time.
