Maternity services at St Mary's Hospital have been rated as 'good' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
More than four years after saying the department 'requires improvement', inspectors are now deeming it 'good' overall.
It has also been rated as 'good' for being safe and well-led. It follows an inspection on October 31 and November 1.
However, inspectors say some improvements are necessary. During the visit, inspectors found staff were not monitoring triage times and were unaware of any audit of triage waiting times and reviews.
It was also found that the recording of medicine administration was not always clear.
Carolyn Jenkinson, CQC head of hospital inspection, said:
“Maternity services across England have faced significant challenges, but the Isle of Wight Trust have worked hard to not only ensure the safety of women but also allow staff to achieve their roles in an environment encouraging learning and development.
“We observed a well-run department with staff doing their very best for the women in their charge. There are some things that do need to be reviewed such as the evaluation of triage times and ensuring more clarity around the recording of medicines, but the trust leadership are already aware of these issues and working to resolve them.
“Staff felt valued and respected, and there were instances of good collaboration in the interest of women and babies.
“We continue to monitor it closely, including through future inspections, and we look forward to find what future improvements have been put in place.”
Inspectors also found there were enough staff to care for women and keep them safe; infection risks, medicines and safety incidents were managed well; and women who chose to give birth outside of guidelines were supported make sure the birth was as safe as possible.
