About The Kingsdown Nursery School, Lincoln
The Kingsdown Nursery School in Lincoln was rated Good by Ofsted at its most recent graded inspection in 2013, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. This is a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2011, when the school was rated Requires Improvement across all three assessed areas: overall effectiveness, early years provision, and leadership and management. In the 2013 inspection, both leadership and management and overall effectiveness were raised to Good, with early years provision also improving to Good. The school is one of only five state nursery schools in Lincolnshire, and of those, just two hold an Outstanding rating, meaning Kingsdown sits comfortably within the top tier of early years provision in the local authority.
