Warwick Nursery School
About Warwick Nursery School
Warwick Nursery School is one of just six state nursery schools in Warwickshire, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good, placing it among a small group of providers in the local authority where five of its peers hold an Outstanding rating. The nearest Outstanding-rated nursery is Whitnash Nursery School, 4.1 kilometres away, which gives a sense of the competitive local landscape for early years provision. Headteacher Cathy Bignold leads a mixed-gender school for children aged two to five, with 88 pupils on roll. The school is non-religious and operates as a state-funded nursery, meaning it follows the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. Its location in Warwick puts it within a county where nursery options are limited in number but generally well-regarded, and the school’s Good rating reflects a solid standing among its immediate peers.
