About St Margaret's Nursery School

If you're a parent weighing up nursery options in Barnet, the signals from St Margaret's Nursery School are strong. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2023, confirmed that it remains Outstanding, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections. This is particularly notable given that St Margaret's is one of only four nursery schools in the entire local authority to hold an Outstanding grade. While the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, the fact that it is a state nursery with 92 pupils and no oversubscription ratio data suggests it is a well-regarded but not oversubscribed setting, meaning local families are likely to find a place without the scramble seen at some other schools. The headteacher, Kelly Brooker, leads a team that has clearly maintained high standards since the school's last graded inspection in 2013, when it also received Outstanding across the board.
