Ofsted is responsible for educational standards across the UK and ensuring compliance with national standards. From a nursery where children become “immersed in their learning” to dozens more topic picks, choosing can be a tough task for parents weighing up options for early years education for their children.
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.
