Spent a lot of money on level 1 and 2 plumbing and then when I finished I went to find an apprenticeship.\n\nI found an apprenticeship and I was doing things that I was never shown in college so I was making mistakes. Several things I had absolutely no clue what to do as again wasn't shown in college and my boss made a comment to another worker saying that he thinks I am lying about going to college! Thankfully I was shown what to do and learned quickly but I was advised that I should go back to college because whoever was my teacher was apparently an absolute fool because almost everything that I was teached and shown was wrong !!",

The college accepted my son's EHCP which was comprehensive and by no means misleading, when he was badly assaulted on college premises they excluded him, none of the management cared and they blamed him and told him to contact the police. The Principal leaves his deputy principals to run the college and they are accountable to absolutely no one. Despite making complaints regarding the college not delivering the EHCP provision and about the exclusion process, they did not address the complaint. Even when I went to the board of governors my complaint was ignored.\n\nFor SEND pupils, BCOT should be avoided, the SEND department deliver nothing and in my son's case they said personal development sessions, that are delivered to ALL pupils were his additional support.\n\nBCOT has some great tutors but sadly it is is self regulating and mismanaged by a corrupt senior management team.",

## About this day nursery

Basingstoke College of Technology Nursery provides a welcoming and secure environment for children aged 0 to 4 years, operating Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, 50 weeks a year. The setting, located within the grounds of Basingstoke College of Technology, was rated Good by Ofsted during its inspection on 3 May 2022.

The dedicated staff and management team foster a strong, family-like ethos, focusing on supporting each child and their family as a whole. Children benefit from a varied and engaging curriculum, with staff who know them well and plan activities based on their interests.

Babies explore frozen paint cubes, toddlers investigate toy dinosaurs in slime, and older children participate in fun exercise routines. This approach helps children develop self-esteem and confidence through praise for their efforts.

Children are encouraged to be inquisitive learners, exploring both indoor and outdoor environments with enthusiasm. The nursery promotes a positive attitude towards learning for all children, including those receiving additional funding, ensuring they gain essential skills for their next stage of education.

Older children develop good independence skills and learn self-care. The curriculum promotes physical health through nutritious food, regular fresh air, and exercise.

Staff respect children's voices, involving them in choosing stories and role-play themes. While children's individual needs and interests are catered for, the nursery aims to further strengthen its curriculum delivery to consistently adapt teaching during activities, maximising learning opportunities for all children.

The safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff trained to identify signs of abuse and follow established procedures, working closely with the college to ensure robust recruitment.

## How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those in receipt of additional funding, develop a positive attitude towards learning and are gaining the skills they need for the next stage of their education. Staff are very knowledgeable about individual children and carefully plan activities based on children's interests to close any gaps in learning.

Outdoor space

Children explore their environments, inside and outside, with enthusiasm. Children thoroughly enjoy playing outside and have great fun using the slide to go from the upper garden to the lower garden. They confidently ride on wheeled toys, play with the mud kitchen and explore the natural area.

Been a long time since visiting and decided to return to the barbering school after my friend died who ran his own barbering school. It's all new and very well kitted out. The students' behaviour is still very school like but ok and typical for the current generation (ex- part time teacher here!) Will return again as the barbering school is good and seems to be run well.

Despite all the evidence I gave them my SEN needs weren’t supported, they do nothing about bullying. Staff themselves are really unhelpful and bullies, was discriminated and bullied and also threatened by the assistant principal when I was alone in a meeting. They have CCTV in the cubicles that peek right over 2 female cubicals ( including a disabled one ) Tutors don’t know what they’re doing either, wasted a whole year here 😬 Reported to OFSTED multiple times but they get a staff member to follow them and listen to everything you say so they can report it back to the assistant principal, bravo is never there and if he is he always is only on the look out for badges or vapers…. Not to mention he sped up dangerously while my sister and I was crossing the road because she was vaping infront of the college heading to the office…. Awful and needs to be throughly inspected by the inspectors as many people have complained about one specific staff member and she knows who she is, I don’t feel comfortable there and traumatised by these actions. Needs to be dealt with as they’re not SEN friendly at ALL.

This college is an absolute joke! Spent a lot of money on level 1 and 2 plumbing and then when I finished I went to find an apprenticeship. I found an apprenticeship and I was doing things that I was never shown in college so I was making mistakes. Several things I had absolutely no clue what to do as again wasn't shown in college and my boss made a comment to another worker saying that he thinks I am lying about going to college! Thankfully I was shown what to do and learned quickly but I was advised that I should go back to college because whoever was my teacher was apparently an absolute fool because almost everything that I was teached and shown was wrong !!

BCOT has some great tutors and facilities but the management are ruthless, they accept a lot of SEND pupils for the additional funding and don't deliver. The college accepted my son's EHCP which was comprehensive and by no means misleading, when he was badly assaulted on college premises they excluded him, none of the management cared and they blamed him and told him to contact the police. The Principal leaves his deputy principals to run the college and they are accountable to absolutely no one. Despite making complaints regarding the college not delivering the EHCP provision and about the exclusion process, they did not address the complaint. Even when I went to the board of governors my complaint was ignored. For SEND pupils, BCOT should be avoided, the SEND department deliver nothing and in my son's case they said personal development sessions, that are delivered to ALL pupils were his additional support. BCOT has some great tutors but sadly it is is self regulating and mismanaged by a corrupt senior management team.
