Children 1st are joint top of Nursery World’s Ofsted league table

Provision
The group has joined Kids Allowed at the top of the table, which ranks the 25 largest nursery groups in the country on quality, after a mistake on the Ofsted website was corrected.

A Children 1st Outstanding-rated setting in Chesterfield, Children 1st @ St Peter and St Paul, was mistakenly listed as inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate on the Ofsted website.

The mistake has now been corrected, which means the group would have had 15 Outstanding settings and three Good settings at the time Nursery Chains 2019 went to press last November. Six of the group’s settings did not have inspection reports available.

this means that both Children 1st and Kids Allowed score 4.67 points in the Nursery Chains quality league table for 2019.

Kids Allowed will now share top spot, which it held for the second year in a row, with five Outstanding grades and one Good.
