Dear Parent/Carer,

As you are aware, we were recently inspected by Ofsted and I am now able to share the outcomes with you. The report is a ‘good reflection’ of where we are at the present time, as we continue to evolve through the new journey we started in September 2011 when, due to school intake changes, everything changed in terms of the age range of the children as well as management.

I would like to draw your attention to some particularly positive comments and high light an area to address from the report. Thank you to those who were able to give feedback on the day:

v Ofsted note that all the children seem settled, happy and confident in the group and are proud of their achievements.

v Hygiene standards are high

v Working relationships with parents is good

v "Robust safeguarding" (this is most important and a fundamental part of looking after children)

v Risk assessment (we are aware of current shortfall in paperwork backing up our rigorous risk assessment routines and the process of preparing paperwork to reflect our practises is already well underway)

We will be writing up an action plan with dates for achieving targets to ensure that our evidence is consistent as we continue to evolve.

Please do approach me with any issues you may have, with regard to the Ofsted report or any other matters. This can be done through the usual channels: email; in writing; telephone; or speaking with me in person.
