About Wentworth Nursery School and Children's Centre
Wentworth Nursery School and Children’s Centre in Hackney holds the highest Ofsted rating possible: Outstanding, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. In its most recent graded inspection in 2013, inspectors awarded top marks for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. An ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Outstanding, meaning the quality of education has been sustained at an exceptional level over a decade. This is no small feat in Hackney, where only two out of three state nursery schools currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school’s headteacher, Farzana Chowdhury, leads a setting with 77 children aged two to five, and 21.4 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that reflects the diverse local community. For parents seeking a nursery with a proven, long-standing record of excellence, Wentworth’s Ofsted story is as strong as it gets.
