Inspections before November 2025 gave one overall rating rather than grading each area.
Horwich Day Nursery in Horwich, BOLTON was last inspected on 5 June 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 — Urgent Improvement; achievement — Urgent Improvement; behaviour and routines — Urgent Improvement; welfare and wellbeing — Urgent Improvement; inclusion — Urgent Improvement; leadership and governance — Urgent Improvement. Each area is judged separately, so a setting can be stronger in one than another.
