The school was inspected by the School Inspection Service, which inspects all independent schools, including those with kindergartens and nurseries, affiliated to the Steiner Waldorf Schools Fellowship.
The inspection, just published, took place at Wynstones School in Gloucester in November.
The school had been granted exemptions from the communication, language and literacy and ICT early learning goals (News, 2 September 2009).
Teacher Ken Power said, 'We're relieved, happy and delighted about the report.' He said the school had been very open with the inspectors that the teaching in the kindergarten had not changed in any way to fit in with the EYFS. For example, the school does not teach numeracy and is not assessing children against the EYFS profile.
