Childcare provider inspection results

25/09/2026 - Ofsted - Inspection (Early Years Register)

Making sense of the inspection gradings:

• Met: The setting has an open culture in which safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
• Not met: Serious and/or widespread failures in safeguarding practice led to children, or particular groups of children, being unsafe. Breaches of the statutory requirements for safeguarding have a significant impact on children’s safety.
• Exceptional (blue): Setting will only be awarded this grade when practice is among the very best nationally, which should be shared with other schools or providers to help them improve.
• Strong standard (dark green): Marks out excellent, consistent work that’s making a real difference for children and learners.
• Expected standard (light green): The provider is doing everything that it should be doing, so you’ll see the green colour coding on the report card. It’s a high standard, to make sure your children are receiving everything they need and deserve.
• Needs attention (amber): Is an indication that there is work to be done to reach the ‘expected standard’. It’s not a ‘fail’ but it highlights where issues can be addressed before they become bigger problems that need ‘urgent improvement’.
• Urgent improvement (red): Given when there are breaches of the EYFS requirements which have a significant impact on children’s safety, well-being and/or learning and development.
