Inspections before November 2025 gave one overall rating rather than grading each area.
Pool House Under 5's Nursery in Tanterton, Preston was last inspected on 11 November 2025. 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 — Expected Standard; leadership and governance — Strong Standard. Each area is judged separately, so a setting can be stronger in one than another.
Yes. Expected standard is the bar every provider has to clear, so meeting it is the pass rather than a mediocre result. Strong standard and exceptional sit above it; needs attention and urgent improvement sit below.
Pool House Under 5's Nursery has been registered with Ofsted since 23 April 2001. Its unique reference number (URN) is 502191.
