The Old Station Nursery Group’s Innsworth setting (pictured below) had been graded as good by Ofsted since it opened in 2010. Following an Ofsted inspection in May 2013 the inspector, who was employed by Tribal, told the nursery during feedback that she had graded the nursery as ‘good’.
However, the judgement was subsequently downgraded to satisfactory during Tribal’s quality assurance process.
The nursery was told that this was because prior to the inspection there had been an investigation visit from Ofsted triggered by the nursery reporting a compliance issue in September 2012.
The nursery had subsequently reviewed its induction training procedures to Ofsted’s satisfaction, but this had led to a full Ofsted inspection being brought forward.
