Childbase Partnership are top in our Nursery Chains’ 2024 table, which analyses the Ofsted reports of the 25 biggest groups in the UK.
The group has 24 of its 44 settings graded Outstanding, while the rest that have been inspected are all graded Good (two nurseries are new registrations).
In second and third place respectively are N Family Club and the London Early Years Foundation, with all of their inspected nurseries graded Outstanding and Good.
As controversy over Ofsted inspections and the one-word judgement continues, it is interesting to note that the number of Outstanding grades among the 25 largest groups has fallen from 369 in our 2023 table to 318.
