About Washwood Heath Nursery School

Washwood Heath Nursery School holds the highest possible Ofsted rating of Outstanding, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in 2014 and its latest ungraded inspection in October 2024, where inspectors confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school is one of 17 nursery schools in Birmingham to achieve this top rating, out of a total of 27 such schools in the local authority. The most telling metric for a nursery of this kind is the quality of its early years provision, which was judged Outstanding in the 2014 graded inspection. With 111 children on roll aged from two to five, the school is a dedicated early years setting rather than a primary with a nursery attached, meaning its entire focus is on the foundation stage. Headteacher Valerie Daniel leads a school where 100 per cent of parents who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey said they would recommend it, with 87 per cent strongly agreeing that their child is happy at the school.
