Inspections before November 2025 gave one overall rating rather than grading each area.
Ab Day Nursery in Swanley was last inspected on 2 February 2026. That inspection used Ofsted's report card framework, which replaced single-word overall ratings for early years settings in November 2025.
Ofsted graded 6 areas: curriculum and teaching — Needs Attention; achievement — Expected Standard; behaviour and routines — Needs Attention; welfare and wellbeing — Expected Standard; inclusion — Expected Standard; leadership and governance — Expected Standard. Each area is judged separately, so a setting can be stronger in one than another.
Yes. Expected standard is the bar every provider has to clear, so meeting it is the pass rather than a mediocre result. Strong standard and exceptional sit above it; needs attention and urgent improvement sit below.
