From Outstanding to Good, is Good
19 August 2022
We were due Ofsted as we locked down in the pandemic and seem to have been ready for years! I know you shouldn’t do things “for Ofsted” but I don’t want any member of staff to get caught in the headlights on the day and prepared for any questions that might come their way. So as we hit July the call came. Sparkles had been Outstanding twice, however I wasn’t expecting a hat trick. I wanted a strong Good and a jolly good read when I read the report. Both boxes have been ticked! The Ofsted inspector was very human, took into account nerves and the children chatted to her.
After a rocky couple of years where we had many staff changes we were concentrating on staff well being, happy children and my own well being. Over half my team at the setting are new from last summer, and they’re the best! They’re a chatty bunch, bundles of fun and very caring towards the children and each other. So our excellent Good report is good and we are proud of it. ( But I’d still prefer no inspections! Haha!)
