What does this mean?
This grade is from before November 2025, when Ofsted replaced single grades with report cards. The nursery's next inspection will give a report card, with a separate grade for each area instead of one overall grade.
What Ofsted says it does well
“Staff and the management team understand the complexities of children's behaviour and adopt a highly sensitive approach.”
“Staff provide exceptional learning opportunities for all children.”
“Highly competent staff skilfully lead and engage pre-school children with a familiar book.”
