What does this mean?
Since November 2025 Ofsted gives each nursery a report card. Each area is graded on a five-step scale: urgent improvement, needs attention, expected standard, strong standard, exceptional. Safeguarding is either met or not met. There is no single headline grade, and we never make one up.
What Ofsted says it does well
“Children show confidence, curiosity and engagement in daily routines and play.”
“Children demonstrate positive behaviour.”
“Children's welfare and wellbeing are prioritised through attentive and responsive care.”
What Ofsted says it should do better
“Leaders and those responsible for governance should sustain their work to ensure continued improvement and high standards.”
“They should focus on creating a transformational impact on the outcomes and experiences of disadvantaged children, those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, those who are known (or previously known) to children's social care, and those who may face other barriers to their learning and/or wellbeing.”
