Ofsted publishes inspection outcomes, ratings, and reports for every registered setting in England. We collect it, structure it, and link it to your setting automatically via your Ofsted URN.
Your data never passes through us. We surface public information and combine it with insights from across the sector so you can see where you stand, and what to do next.
Enter your Ofsted Unique Reference Number when you sign up. We look up your setting on the public register and verify ownership by sending a confirmation email to a known address at your setting's domain.
Inspection history, current rating, published reports, and area comparisons are surfaced in your dashboard. No manual uploads, no spreadsheets.
Monitor your rating over time, see trends across your area, and act on improvement signals before your next inspection.
Current rating, full inspection history, previous outcomes, and links to published reports — all pulled automatically from your setting's URN.
See how you compare to settings in your area. Regional ratings, recent inspection outcomes, and local trends surfaced alongside your own data.
Understand what typically drives rating improvements and declines. Patterns from thousands of inspection reports distilled into actionable guidance.
Local authority funding rates vary significantly across England. See the rates in your area and compare against regional and national averages.
Guided self-assessment tools built around the Ofsted Education Inspection Framework, so you know where you stand before an inspector arrives.
Search any Ofsted-registered setting in England by name, postcode, or URN. Useful for due diligence, partnerships, or understanding your local market.
Nursery Intelligence is a free standalone product. Sign up, connect your URN, and start using it today without committing to anything else.
