Our exclusive analysis of the Ofsted reports of the 20 largest nursery groups, shows that the North-West based group has had 15 nurseries graded Outstanding and four graded Good.
It is worth noting that Childbase – last year in third – has only marginally missed out on first place. It is in second place because it has successfully converted nurseries previously graded Good to Outstanding status. The group now has 32 nurseries graded Outstanding, with the remaining nine graded Good.
The group has swapped places with Children 1st – last year’s runner-up – which is now in third place, with 14 of its nurseries graded Outstanding and six graded Good.
