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
“Leaders and managers are passionate about all children achieving.”
“Children's mathematical understanding is well supported.”
“Mealtimes and snack times are calm and enjoyable experiences that are filled with opportunities to learn.”
What Ofsted says it should do better
“support staff to recognise when children can attempt to do things for themselves, to support their developing independence skills further”
“build on the good partnerships with parents to ensure that all parents fully understand the next steps planned for their child and feel reassured about their child's day.”
