From one nursery providing “magic moments, awe and wonder” to inspire pupils, to another where the dedication of staff helps children to “thrive”, the YEP has pulled together a list of 'Outstanding' and 'Good' nurseries in Leeds with an inspection report published by Ofsted in 2022.
Each nursery was inspected by Ofsted, the education watchdog, and given a rating by inspectors. Full inspection reports can be found published on Ofsted's official website here.
