About The Wharf Nursery School

The Wharf Nursery School in Waverley is a state-funded nursery for children aged 2 to 5, currently educating 92 pupils. This is a small, intimate setting, and while the data doesn't specify its total capacity, the school appears to be well-established within the local community. Its intake reflects a moderate level of socio-economic diversity, with 14.3% of pupils eligible for free school meals. This is slightly above the national average for primary-phase schools, which typically sits around 13-14%, suggesting the school serves a mix of families. The school is non-religious, with a mixed gender intake, and is led by headteacher Zoe Bray. As one of only four state nursery schools in Surrey, and one of just two rated Outstanding by Ofsted in the local authority, it occupies a highly selective niche. The admission information does not detail oversubscription figures, but its strong reputation and limited local supply of similar provision likely make it a sought-after choice for parents in the area.
