Holi Assembly
by Guest- 2 replies

Our current topic is Colour and Pattern and we have our Class assembly in 3 weeks.

Ofsted Visits

Hi, It has been puzzling me for a long time. Does anyone know the reasons why Ofsted notify schools and childminders of their impending visits but nurseries and Pre-schools are not. Surely it should be a fair system for all. Thanks Scottiedog
