Inspections before November 2025 gave one overall rating rather than grading each area.
Playhouse Day Nursery in Smethwick, West Midlands was last inspected on 28 November 2025. 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 — Needs Attention; behaviour and routines — Needs Attention; welfare and wellbeing — Needs Attention; inclusion — Needs Attention; leadership and governance — Needs Attention. 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.
