Inspectors found that Croydon children's services have "improved in most areas" since the council's previous "good" rating in 2020, indicating a positive trajectory.
The report highlighted the "creative, sensitive" work of social workers, with many children having access to independent advocates ensuring their rights are understood and voices heard.
Ofsted particularly praised Croydon's work with its young ambassadors - care-experienced children and young people appointed by the council to influence decision-making and services.
Staff told inspectors that they like working in Croydon, particularly because of the diversity of the borough, the good management, and high levels of peer support.
