About Staghills Nursery School

Staghills Nursery School sits within Lancashire’s local authority, where it is one of eight state nursery schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted out of a total of 24 such schools in the area. The nearest nursery with the same top rating is Bacup Nursery School, roughly four kilometres away, placing Staghills in a strong local landscape for early years provision. Headteacher Andrea Cooper leads a mixed, state-funded nursery for children aged two to five, with 83 pupils on roll. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in December 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and its graded inspection from September 2014 awarded Outstanding across the board — for overall effectiveness, early years provision, leadership and management, and quality of education. This consistency over time, with the previous graded inspection in 2012 also rating it Outstanding, marks Staghills as a reliably high-performing option for families in Rossendale.
