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
“The manager and staff team share a clear vision for implementing a curriculum that helps children to achieve, consolidate and move on to the next stage in their learning.”
“Staff teach babies and toddlers new words, such as 'splash' and 'bubbles'.”
“Staff weave mathematics throughout the curriculum effectively.”
What Ofsted says it should do better
“improve how the curriculum is monitored to ensure any gaps are closed quickly to enhance children's learning further”
“engage parents in sharing their views to help inform the nursery development plan.”
