Understanding the new Ofsted rating system
Ofsted has changed the way it assesses nurseries and early years settings. This page is a guide to help you understand their new framework.
As part of these changes, the previous overall grades of Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement and Inadequate have been replaced with a new grading system.
The new grading categories are:
Exceptional
Strong Standard
Expected Standard
Needs Attention
Urgent Improvement
Ofsted will also make a separate judgement on whether a setting has met or not met safeguarding requirements.
