Care Inspectorate grades (Scotland)
The Care Inspectorate grades day care of children against key questions such as care, play and learning; setting; staff team; and leadership. Each is graded on a six-point scale: 6 Excellent, 5 Very good, 4 Good, 3 Adequate, 2 Weak, 1 Unsatisfactory.
Not every key question is graded at every inspection, so two settings may show different questions.
