About The Nottingham Nursery School and Training Centre

The Nottingham Nursery School and Training Centre is a state nursery for children aged 2 to 4, currently home to 97 pupils. With the local authority containing only one nursery school rated Outstanding, this setting occupies a unique position in Nottingham. Its intake reflects a moderate level of disadvantage: 16.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which sits below the national average for primary-phase schools but is worth noting in the context of a nursery where eligibility criteria differ. The school operates as a mixed-gender setting with no religious character, and its headship is shared between Joy Buttress and Lorna Dermody. While the data does not include a published capacity figure or admissions oversubscription details, the school's status as the sole Outstanding nursery in the LA suggests it is likely to be a popular choice for local families seeking early years provision with a strong track record.
