Summer 2026 marked the introduction of Ofsted's new inspection framework for holiday camps and childcare providers.
Previously, providers received a simple judgement of "Met" or "Not Met" for safeguarding. The new framework goes much further, assessing the quality of provision across multiple areas and introducing five new outcomes:
Ofsted Outcome | What it means |
Exceptional | Significantly exceeds expectations |
Strong Standard | Exceeds expected standards |
Expected Standard | Meets standards |
Needs Attention | Improvements required |
Urgent Improvement | Immediate improvements required |
