Ofsted inspection reports still remain one of the best ways for parents to assess where to send their child. Nursery inspections are given a judgement on the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
Each category is graded as inadequate, requires improvement, good or outstanding. Unlike schools, nurseries are still given an overall grading. Schools which have nurseries will be given a judgement grade for early years provision.
Check out the Ofsted judgements for all Sunderland’s nursery settings inspected this academic year (since the start of September).
