The education watchdog, Ofsted, published 6 reports on Bristol’s schools and nurseries during the month of October. All of which were visited during September.
In a mixed bag of results, consisting of five nurseries and one primary school, Ofsted issued the full range of its rating system which consists of Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, and Inadequate.
Here are all the Ofsted reports published during October.
1. Honey Tots Day Nursery, Stokes Croft - Inadequate
Honey Tots Day Nursery was graded Inadequate by Ofsted during its September 28 inspection after previously being graded Good. The latest report concluded that children’s health was at risk due to tripping hazards and choking hazards as children were allowed to walk around during meal times. An unannounced follow-up visit was made on October 14 and it was deemed “that the provider and staff have improved their knowledge and understanding of how to identify and address risks in the environment to keep children safe.” | Google
