Hungerford Nursery School was last inspected by Ofsted on 21st and 22nd April 2026. A copy of the inspection report can be found here.

This was our first inspection under Ofsted's new inspection framework.  This new framework provides a more detailed evaluation of different aspects of a school's work rather than a single overall judgement. As a result, inspection outcomes under the new framework should not be directly compared with grades awarded under previous frameworks. In addition, the 'Expected' judgement represents a demanding standard, recognising schools that consistently meet Ofsted's high expectations across the areas inspected. The new framework is designed to provide parents and stakeholders with a clearer and more detailed picture of a school's performance. For more information about the new framework, please watch this short video from Ofsted.

The Inspectors, Laura James and Sue Cox said:

" Children behave remarkedly well.  Staff create a warm and nurturing environment where children are well cared for and treated with respect."

"Leaders foster highly effective positive relationships and engagement with parents and carers.  This effective partnership work supports the children to achieve well."

"Strong relationships and a culture of care enable children to form secure attachments and feel emotionally secure."

"This is an inclusive setting where all children are welcomed and cherished."

"Staff provide high-quality teaching for all, including those with additional needs."
