Ofsted is a governing body that inspects education settings including early years settings. It can be stressful looking for a new nursery or preschool especially as there are so many incredible settings in the area. Ofsted will issue one of four ratings following an inspection: outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate. If a nursery receives an outstanding or good Ofsted, it is working at an exceptional level and offers a high quality of education.
Here are 24 nurseries and preschools with good or outstanding Ofsted ratings:
