Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. They report directly to Parliament and are independent and impartial. They inspect and regulate services which care for children and young people, and those providing education and skills for learners of all ages. At St Edmund’s we have 3 separate inspections – for the Nursery School, the Children’s Centre and the Childcare Provision (EY Register). We are currently outstanding across all 3 areas.

The centre is exceptionally well led, with outstanding teamwork leading to excellent provision for families. Responsibilities are distributed across the staff team, which ensures that each member of staff plays an important part in the children’s centre and its delivery of a range of excellent services.
