About Taywood Nursery School

Taywood Nursery School, a state nursery in Burnley, Lancashire, was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2024. This represents a change from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was judged Outstanding. The school now holds Good ratings across all four inspected categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. With 75 children aged two to four, it is a small setting where every child is known well. The school sits within a local authority where eight out of 24 nursery schools are rated Outstanding, so Taywood is in good company but not at the very top of the local rankings. The nearest Outstanding-rated nursery, Ightenhill Nursery School, is just 0.8 kilometres away, giving local families a choice between two well-regarded state nurseries.
