Newcastle City Council

Newcastle City Council runs 5 childcare settings on the Ofsted register in Newcastle upon Tyne, with 289 registered places between them. 5 of them have a published inspection report we summarise in full, linked below.

How Newcastle City Council's settings were graded

  • Ofsted report cards: 1 setting (2 Strong standard, 4 Expected standard)

Each setting is inspected on its own, so grades differ from one to the next. Grades are shown only where the inspectorate has published the report.
