With hundreds of pupils moving up a year group in September, many little ones will have their first taste of a learning setting when they set foot into nursery for the first time.
Deciding what nursery to send your two-year-old child to is a big decision so the Chronicle & Echo has rounded up all the nurseries that have been inspected by Ofsted this year to give you the most up to date outcomes.
Out of 13 Northampton nurseries inspected this year, two have been graded ‘inadequate’, nine have been graded ‘good’ and two have been graded ‘outstanding.’
Here are the Ofsted outcomes for every Northampton nursery that has been inspected in 2023 as of July 6:
