In June we had a Brilliant Ofsted Inspection with a GOOD rating, receiving praise for our high quality of teaching and learning with our enthusiastic and motivated staff team! The link to our Ofsted Report is here using our code 127083 here In a recent ECERS (Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale) review we scored a fantastic maximum score of 7 in 11 provisions. I have listed details of this and also attached a very complimentary letter from the Corporate Director from Early Years Childcare, KCC in our 'For Parents' section. We have a virtual walk through of the hall on our Facebook site (Carmel Caterpillars) so that you can see how we are set up in-line with the Governments Safety Guidelines, so please take a look. And remember it doesn't matter how young your precious ones are, we now have a waiting list up to September 2023! There are also some lovely comments from our graduating caterpillars in the For Parents tab and some new photos from recent activities in the Gallery, so please take a look. | Latest News/Upcoming Events Welcome back everyone to the new Term! Hope you all had a great break. Please join us in welcoming some more new parents and children this weeks Its great to have more lovely families join us! We have World Book Day coming up on the 3rd of March and we have lots of book vouchers to hand out to everyone. We are also on our countdown to our wonderful Easter Fayre on FRIDAY 1st APRIL, which we are so looking forward to! We will be continuing to help keep Pre-school a safe place by staggering your dropping off and collecting times and asking parents to still wear your masks.
