About The Fields Nursery School

The Fields Nursery School in Cambridge is a state-funded nursery for children aged two to five, currently home to 57 pupils. This is a small, intimate setting, and while the data doesn't specify its exact capacity, the school operates within a local authority where only three out of seven nursery schools hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself was rated Outstanding in its previous inspection in 2017, but its most recent graded inspection in 2024 saw it step down to Good across all categories. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is not provided in the data, so it's difficult to compare directly with national or local averages, but the school's small size suggests a close-knit community. There is no information on admissions oversubscription, so the level of demand is unclear, but for families in Cambridge seeking a state nursery place, this is one of a handful of options in the local authority.
