After visiting some of Leap-frog's 38 nurseries, interviewing staff and observing training sessions, the team of five ALI inspectors said the nursery chain's workplace learning environment was 'equipped to an exceptionally good standard' and awarded it a grade two. Grades range from one (excellent) to seven (poor).
Tracey Storey, head of personnel and training at Leapfrog, said, 'I am very pleased to receive such a positive report from ALI. Being awarded the Modern Apprenticeship contract was a real achievement for Leapfrog and it is wonderful it has been such a success after just 12 months.'
The chain currently has 53 advanced modern apprentices, aiming for NVQ level 3 and Key Skills Level 3, and 40 qualified assessors who carry out assessments within the nurseries.
