Kids Planet Salford Quays

Kids Planet Salford Quays was inspected on 20 October 2022 under the legacy EYFS framework (4 areas: Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management), all graded Good. The setting has declined from Outstanding at the previous inspection (21 December 2018). This analysis maps the legacy framework to the November 2025 7-area structure: Safeguarding (Met), Inclusion (Strong Standard, 82), Curriculum and Teaching (Expected Standard, 72), Achievement (Expected Standard, 71), Behaviour/Attitudes/Routines (Strong Standard, 81), Welfare/Well-being (Strong Standard, 83), Leadership/Governance (Expected Standard, 75). The setting demonstrates strong relationships, effective SEND support, and excellent community partnerships, but requires targeted improvement in communication and language development and children's independence/self-care skills. The decline from Outstanding suggests regression in curriculum intent embedding and teaching consistency.
