Choosing a nursery

Read the latest Ofsted report. Search by name or postcode on reports.ofsted.gov.uk. Private nurseries and childminders are on it as well as school nurseries.
Visit, and ask about the day. Ratios of staff to children, how they settle a new child in, food, naps and time outdoors.
Ask about funded hours and extra charges. Some nurseries charge for meals, nappies or trips on top of funded hours.
Check waiting lists early. Popular nurseries fill months ahead, especially for babies.

Questions people ask

What do Ofsted grades mean for nurseries?

Until late 2025 Ofsted gave one overall grade: Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate. Newer inspections give a report card instead, grading each area on a scale from exceptional to urgent improvement. Older grades stay on a nursery’s record until its next inspection.

Can I get free childcare hours?

In England every three and four year old can get 15 hours a week of funded childcare in term time. Working parents can get up to 30 hours a week from when their child is nine months old, if each parent earns at least 16 hours a week at the minimum wage and under £100,000 a year. Check and apply at childcarechoices.gov.uk.

How do I check a nursery’s Ofsted report?
