Grade 1 - Outstanding: outstanding provision is highly effective in meeting the needs of all children exceptionally well. This ensures that children are very well prepared for the next stage of their learning. Grade 2 - Good: good provision is effective in delivering a provision that meets all of the needs of all children well. This ensures children are ready for the next stage of their learning. Grade 3 - Satisfactory: satisfactory provision is performing less well than expectations in one or more of the key areas. It requires improvement in order to be good. Grade 4 - Inadequate: provision that is inadequate requires significant improvement and/or enforcement. The provision is failing to give children an acceptable standards of early years education and/or is not meeting the safeguarding and welfare requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. It will be inspected again within 12 months of the date of inspection. You're welcome to have a look at our latest Ofsted report by clicking here.
