Inspections before November 2025 gave one overall rating rather than grading each area.
Footsteps Nursery Lichfield Road in TAMWORTH, Staffordshire was last inspected on 15 July 2026. That inspection used Ofsted's report card framework, which replaced single-word overall ratings for early years settings in November 2025.
Ofsted graded 6 areas: curriculum and teaching — Expected Standard; achievement — Expected Standard; behaviour and routines — Strong Standard; welfare and wellbeing — Expected Standard; inclusion — Strong Standard; leadership and governance — Strong Standard. Each area is judged separately, so a setting can be stronger in one than another.
