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
“Leaders and staff fully understand the importance of early detection of any barriers to learning.”
“Children develop well and show motivation to learn.”
“Staff provide a positive role model for children, as they work together as a team with respect and kindness.”
What Ofsted says it should do better
“Leaders should continue to strengthen their supervision and coaching for staff, to further ensure good-quality teaching and assessment across the provision.”
