As soon as the report comes through, we will share it with you, but we would like to say how proud we are of our preschool, how calm everyone was under pressure, answering lots of questions; being observed, and the children who were, (as always!) fabulous! Thank you also to all the parents who took some time to talk to the inspector and who wished us well and sent messages. It is very much appreciated!

Please remember that the door will be open at the beginning of the day at 8.30am or 9.00am. If you miss your 8.30am start time, please wait until the door is reopened at 9.00am. We have several new children who are finding it hard to settle when the doorbell rings several times between these times and after 9am.
The families that start at 9.15am by regular pre-arrangement, please wait until the door is opened at 9.15am by a member of staff so that there is a minimum of disruption for our new children. Thankyou!
