About ReadyIQ

Why we built it

Every children's home inspection report Ofsted publishes contains real, useful signal — not just a grade, but the specific regulations cited, the language used to describe good practice, and how a home's trajectory has actually moved over several inspections. On its own, one report tells you about one visit. Put hundreds of them together, benchmarked properly, and a much clearer picture appears — of your own home, and of the sector around it.

ReadyIQ exists to do that work once, properly, so individual providers don't each have to.

What we believe

• Show the working. Anywhere ReadyIQ goes beyond simply reporting what Ofsted wrote, we explain exactly how that figure was built.
• Readiness, not surveillance. ReadyIQ is built for the people running homes to understand their own standing — not to catch anyone out.
• Independence. ReadyIQ is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Ofsted. Everything we show is built from their own published reports.
