Inspections before November 2025 gave one overall rating rather than grading each area.
Small World Nursery Ltd in Oxford, Oxfordshire was last inspected on 29 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 — Needs Attention; achievement — Needs Attention; 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.
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.
