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
“Staff provide children with expert support to promote their speech and language development.”
“Partnerships with parents and carers are strong.”
“Children learn about cultural events and celebrations that take place throughout the year.”
What Ofsted says it should do better
“embed the current systems for monitoring and coaching staff to extend their individual practice, to deliver the curriculum even more effectively and extend the learning of older and most-able children.”
