About St Thomas Centre Nursery School

Nearly nine in ten parents who responded to the most recent Ofsted parent view questionnaire would recommend St Thomas Centre Nursery School to other families, a strong signal of day-to-day satisfaction. The school is also notably popular: with 111 children on roll and a stated oversubscription ratio, demand for places clearly outstrips supply. This Birmingham state nursery, rated Good overall in its July 2024 inspection, serves children aged two to five and is led by headteacher Laura O'Neill. The school's previous inspection, in 2013, rated it Outstanding across the board, so the current Good rating represents a measured step down rather than a cause for concern. Parents considering this school should note that it is one of 17 Outstanding-rated nurseries in Birmingham out of 27 total state nursery schools, meaning it sits within a strong local field. The nearest Outstanding alternative is Lillian De Lissa Nursery School, just 0.6 km away.
