Raunds Playgroup

There are currently 5 permanent members of staff at the setting. We work on the appropriate ratio of over 3 yrs old = 1 adult: 8 children, under 3 yrs old = 1 adult: 4 children. Our staff have a wealth of experience and qualifications and attend regular training courses. We also have frequent students attending the setting from local colleges and senior schools to gain knowledge and experience working within a child care setting.

As a childcare setting, we are proud of our Ofsted rating and are working hard to make sure we obtain the highest rating. We take our Ofsted inspections and ratings very seriously and we are always looking for ways to make our setting even better for the children in our care.

Ofstead describes their activities as: "Ofsted's role is to make sure that organisations providing education, training and care services in England do so to a high standard for children and students."If you have any questions regarding our Ofsted rating or anything about our playgroup, please get in touch.
