Diagnostic Review of your Inpection
 

"Laura came to do pre-inspection visits at both of my nurseries last year. The sessions were very useful. Staff (and the children) got used to being observed during a normal day at nursery and it offered me the chance to ensure that all paperwork was up to date. The feedback and written report highlighted some small areas that Laura felt we could give our attention to. Coincidentally, we had an unannounced Ofsted inspection just a few weeks after Laura’s visit. I really feel that her visit helped me to achieve our grade of outstanding."

"Laura is extremely professional with a thorough approach that really helps pinpoint any areas to work on. I have asked Laura to do a pre-inspection visit at both nurseries every year."

What our clients say about us

"We wanted to write and thank you for, once again, providing such an interesting and practical workshop on Ofsted’s expectations of a Healthy Child. The delegates who attended the workshops gave very positive feedback on their evaluation forms and found the time very useful and enjoyable. We are sure that this will have a positive impact on practitioners' understanding and practice in their varied settings."
