Croughton, Brackley · NN13 5LT
Inspected by Ofsted on 20 January 2026 under the report card framework.
Curriculum and teaching and Achievement were not inspected here — a setting is only graded on the areas its registration covers, so this is not a gap in its practice.
Each area is judged separately. Expected standard is the bar every provider has to clear — meeting it is the pass, not a mediocre result.
Below the expected standard in this area. It has to be put right, but it is not judged urgent.
Falls well below the expected standard, or puts children at risk. Requires immediate action.

Inspections before November 2025 gave one overall rating rather than grading each area.
Premier @ Croughton in Croughton, Brackley was last inspected on 20 January 2026. That inspection used Ofsted's report card framework, which replaced single-word overall ratings for early years settings in November 2025.
Ofsted graded 4 areas: behaviour and routines — Needs Attention; welfare and wellbeing — Urgent Improvement; inclusion — Needs Attention; leadership and governance — Urgent Improvement. Each area is judged separately, so a setting can be stronger in one than another.
Ofsted did not grade curriculum and teaching or achievement 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.
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.
