Inspections before November 2025 gave one overall rating rather than grading each area.

Ofsted graded 1 area: leadership and governance — Expected Standard. Each area is judged separately, so a setting can be stronger in one than another.
Ofsted did not grade curriculum and teaching or achievement or behaviour and routines or welfare and wellbeing or inclusion at this setting. A provider is only graded on the areas its registration covers — an out-of-school club, for example, is not inspected on delivering the early years curriculum. It is not a gap in the setting's practice.
