About Little Crickets Nursery
Little Crickets Nursery is the day nursery attached to Argyle House School, an independent school on Thornhill Park, close to the city centre. It cares for children from six months to four years old in separate baby, toddler and pre-school rooms.
The nursery was inspected by Ofsted on 29 September 2026. It was graded strong standard for behaviour, attitudes and routines, and expected standard in the other areas. Ofsted's 2026 report cards grade each area on a five-point scale, from urgent improvement to exceptional, alongside a separate judgement on whether safeguarding is met. The full report sets out what inspectors found in each area, and the Ofsted page for the setting also lists any earlier inspections. Details of visits and admissions are on the Argyle House School website.
