Latest Ofsted Visit - 21st January 2025

We have received our latest report from OFSTED and received a grading of

Requires Improvement.  – We are naturally really disappointed by this.

On the day, it was a surprise visit, and wasn't really a typical day. We also had a fully trained member of staff absent to attend a funeral.

We would like to reassure you that there were no issues with health and safety, SEN or safeguarding. The Directors and Managers have since had an emergency meeting and made a plan to raise the level of education starting immediately, as that was one of the things mentioned in the report.

We have given the Education Lead role to our Assistant Manager and the days have been restructured so the children are receiving some periods of more formal learning at certain times. Dividing the children into 3 groups for these sessions has helped with implementing that plan.

We have taken immediate action, addressing the points raised by the inspector. We will continue to strive to be the best we can.

Ofsted will be revisiting us within the next year and we hope to regain our Good status, at least, by the end of 2025.
