An NQS rating of "Exceeding" is the highest possible classification and indicates a service that consistently goes beyond the minimum standards in most or all quality areas. "Meeting NQS" is the expected benchmark. It means the service meets all the required standards and is operating well. "Working Towards NQS" means one or more quality areas have not yet met the required standard, which is worth investigating further before enrolling. "Significant Improvement Required" (SIR) is a regulatory warning and should give families serious pause.
