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
“Older children develop good language skills as they re-enact the story of 'The Three Little Pigs' with staff.”
“Children's good health is promoted well through home-cooked meals and regular exercise.”
“Parents say their children are always happy at the nursery and are making good progress, especially in their communication and language skills.”
What Ofsted says it should do better
“review the organisation of mealtimes in the baby room and build on opportunities for children to develop their independence skills further and carry out tasks that they are capable of doing, such as feeding themselves.”
