Inspections before November 2025 gave one overall rating rather than grading each area.
Scallywags Nursery in Derby, Derbyshire was last inspected on 24 March 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 — Expected Standard; welfare and wellbeing — Needs Attention; inclusion — Expected Standard; leadership and governance — Needs Attention. 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.
