About Spencer Nursery School

Spencer Nursery School is one of just two state nursery schools in the London borough of Sutton, and it holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The other nursery in the local authority is not named in the data, but with only two such schools in the area, Spencer Nursery occupies a small but significant niche for families seeking a dedicated early years setting for children aged three to five. Headteacher Emma Walford leads a school of just 51 pupils, giving it an intimate feel that is typical of maintained nursery provision. The school is non-denominational and mixed, and it sits within a borough that currently has no Outstanding-rated state nurseries, meaning Spencer Nursery's Good rating places it among the strongest options locally for this age group. Its most recent ungraded inspection in March 2024 confirmed the school remains Good and is improving, which will reassure parents looking for a stable, well-regarded setting.
