About Stonehill Nursery School

Stonehill Nursery School sits in a local authority where only two of six nursery schools are rated Outstanding, and the school itself holds a solid Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2019, confirmed as maintaining standards in an ungraded visit in December 2024. That puts it squarely in the middle of the pack for Derby’s nursery sector — not the top performer, but a reliable, well-regarded option. The school has improved significantly from its previous inspection in 2017, when it was judged to Require Improvement overall, with both leadership and management and overall effectiveness now rated Good. For parents of two-to-five-year-olds in the city, this represents a school that has demonstrably turned things around and held that progress steady.
