How we check the providers on this site

We're transparent about what we check — and what we don't. Parent Rated Provision is not a regulator or inspection body. We review the information and documentation providers submit to us, and we make that visible so you can make informed choices.

Important

Parent Rated Provision reviews documentation supplied by providers but does not regulate, inspect or accredit organisations. Our checks do not replace statutory registration (for example with Ofsted or the DfE) where that applies. Parents should always satisfy themselves that a provider meets the needs of their child.
