Windsor Nursery School

About Windsor Nursery School

Windsor Nursery School in Wolverhampton is a state-funded nursery for children aged two to five, currently educating 98 pupils. While the school’s capacity is not stated in the data, the fact that it is a standalone nursery rather than a primary with a nursery class means its intake is focused entirely on early years provision. For context, free school meal eligibility data is not provided for this school, but across Wolverhampton’s seven state nurseries, four hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, placing Windsor in a competitive local landscape. The nearest Outstanding-rated alternative, Bilston Nursery School, is just 1.6 km away, which suggests families in this part of the West Midlands have strong local options. There is no oversubscription data available for Windsor, so it is not possible to say how hard it is to secure a place, but the school’s Good rating and specialist facilities likely make it a popular choice for parents seeking a dedicated early years setting rather than a primary school nursery.

Academically, Windsor Nursery School was rated Good overall in its most recent graded inspection in November 2019, with an Outstanding rating for behaviour and attitudes. The quality of education, personal development, and leadership and management were all judged Good. In a subsequent ungraded inspection in May 2025, inspectors noted that some aspects were not as strong, but the overall effectiveness rating remained Good. The previous inspection in December 2012 also rated the school Good, so it has held a consistent standard over time. As a nursery, Windsor does not participate in Key Stage 2 SATs or Progress 8 measures, so there are no exam results to compare against the Wolverhampton local authority average. Instead, the focus is on early years development, and the school’s strong behaviour rating suggests children are well-prepared for the transition to primary school.

The school offers a range of facilities that support its early years curriculum, including a Forest School, art studios, a sensory room, and music rooms. Sports provision includes gymnastics and swimming, and there are clubs for gardening and art. For children with additional needs, Windsor has identified SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, and for speech, language and communication needs. The school does not have a religious character, and it is not a boarding school. Given its Good rating, specialist facilities, and focus on early years, Windsor Nursery School is well-suited to families in Wolverhampton who want a dedicated nursery environment with strong behaviour support and a broad range of creative and outdoor learning opportunities, particularly those whose children may benefit from the identified SEND support.
