About South Normanton Nursery School

Around three-quarters of parents who responded to the most recent Ofsted survey said they would recommend South Normanton Nursery School to other families, a strong signal of satisfaction for this small state nursery in Bolsover. The school is not oversubscribed, with 74 children on roll across its mixed 3–5 provision, so securing a place is generally straightforward for local families. Headteacher Peter Hallsworth leads a setting that has held a Good rating from Ofsted since its most recent inspection in 2024, a step down from the Outstanding grade it achieved in its previous inspection back in 2013. The school’s chapel, sensory room, and music rooms are unusual facilities for a nursery, and the outdoor playground, swimming, and gymnastics provision give young children plenty of physical activity. Clubs such as gardening, book club, and eco club add variety to the daily routine.
