About Westfield Nursery School

Westfield Nursery School has turned a corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in October 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a clear step up from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2021. Every area inspected — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management — was judged Good, with no weak spots. That matters because this is a small state nursery for children aged two to five, and the data shows it is one of only two nursery schools in Central Bedfordshire, with neither rated Outstanding. For a school that was struggling not long ago, the consistency across all five Ofsted categories suggests a stable and effective setting has been established under headteacher Elizabeth Collins.
