Oz Tots - TN20 6HL

Oz Tots received an Inadequate rating across all areas in its first inspection on 27 August 2025. The setting operates under the legacy 4-area framework (Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management), all graded Inadequate. These findings map to the November 2025 7-area framework as follows: Safeguarding (Not Met - critical breaches), Inclusion (Inadequate/20-39), Curriculum and Teaching (Inadequate/20-39), Achievement (Inadequate/20-39), Behaviour/Attitudes/Routines (Inadequate/20-39), Welfare and Well-being (Expected Standard/60-79 - children appear happy and settled), and Leadership and Governance (Inadequate/20-39). The setting has 18 staff (11 with Level 2+ qualifications, 9 with Level 3, 1 with Level 4) serving 94 children across 65 places. Critical safeguarding failures include staff uncertainty about whistle-blowing procedures, Prevent duty knowledge gaps, and inadequate supervision systems. Teaching quality is weak due to poor curriculum intent, limited staff knowledge of children's next steps, and ineffective interactions. Staff turnover and deployment challenges prevent managers from fulfilling supervisory roles effectively.
