Ofsted report card tracker

Data

Since 10 November 2025 Ofsted grades nurseries on a five-point scale in each evaluation area, with no overall grade, and judges safeguarding as met or not met. 1352 of the nurseries we list have had a report-card inspection so far; grade columns count evaluation-area grades, not nurseries.

Methodology

Source: Ofsted's published inspection outcomes for registered early years providers, as of 30 June 2026. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
For each open nursery we take its most recent Ofsted report card (introduced in November 2025). Single grades from before then (Outstanding, Good…) are never mixed in, and we never compute an overall grade.
Grade counts add up every evaluation area of every report card, so an area with 2 report cards and 6 areas each contributes 12 grades.
