This is what Ofsted said about our children’s centre:

‘All children in the area who have less than 15 hours of early years provision have regular contact with the centre. Very good progress has been made by the centre in engaging families in the neighbourhood, which is the local authority’s key priority area.’

‘Adults have access to a good range of training and education opportunities. As a result, many adults from workless homes have developed new skills, built their confidence and self-esteem and gained appropriate employment.’

‘The centre places a high priority on ensuring the health and safety of families. It works very well with a wide range of partner organisations to keep children safe.’

‘The local authority has high expectations for the centre’s performance. Successful actions have resulted in continuous improvements to the centre’s work, including good-quality services and positive outcomes for all families who come to the centre.’
