On 4th May 2004, we had the Combined Inspection Report, under the auspices of OFSTED. This relates to the educational content (Foundation Stage) of the Nursery for 3 &4 years olds that attend under the Government Grants Scheme. The second part of the report comes under the National Standards for Under Eights Day Care.
URN: 220284 DfES Number: 580089 Inspector's Name: Sarah Measures
We were very pleased to receive an excellent report. Of the 6 areas of the curriculum, we were given the judgement of 'Very Good' for all of them - the highest comment available. All in all, it was a glowing report, following on from our previous equally good reports.
