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
“Children engage in the 'Daily Mile', a walk or run around the garden.”
“Children enjoy a range of healthy snacks.”
“There are plenty of opportunities for children to develop mathematically.”
What Ofsted says it should do better
“build on existing strategies to further develop the introduction of new vocabulary for learners who speak English as an additional language”
“ensure all staff consistently remind children of behaviour expectations during nursery sessions.”
