This is a huge conflict of interest given the recent inadequate Ofsted report with concerns over safeguarding being highlighted. Although my son has seemed happy here and gets on well with his key workers, we are now looking at removing him based on the Ofsted report. Unfortunately complacency has set in and for one of the most expensive nurseries in the area this simply isn’t acceptable. Tread carefully if you’re considering sending your child here.
