About South Acton Childrens Centre

South Acton Childrens Centre stands out sharply against the Ealing local authority average for nurseries. Of the five state nurseries in the borough, only three hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, and this school is one of them. In its most recent graded inspection in 2023, inspectors awarded the maximum score of 1 across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. That is a clean sweep of top marks, and it represents a clear improvement from the school's previous inspection in 2015, when it was rated Good overall and scored a 2 in early years provision, leadership, and management. For parents comparing options in Ealing, this nursery is not just above average — it is among the strongest performers in a small field, with no weak spots in its Ofsted profile.
