About Wigston Menphys Nursery School

Wigston Menphys Nursery School, a state-funded nursery in Oadby and Wigston, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is its Progress 8 score, which is not applicable here given its age range of 2 to 5 years. Instead, the most telling academic indicator is the Ofsted breakdown, which shows all five key areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness — each rated Good. This consistency is notable in a local authority where no other nursery of the same type has achieved an Outstanding rating; of the two nurseries in Leicestershire, Wigston Menphys is one of only two, and the other’s rating is not specified. With just 41 pupils, the school offers a small, focused environment where every child can be known individually, and the 17.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals suggests a diverse intake reflective of the local community.
