Nursery World - Spotlight on ... Alison Angel, Lantern Playgroup

Name: Alison Angel, playgroup leader at Lantern Playgroup in Merley, Poole, Dorset

How did you feel about being rated outstanding by Ofsted for the secondtime in a row?

I was thrilled. It was such a huge emotional relief. The inspection thistime round was much more gruelling and a lot harder than before. Icouldn't have done it without my incredible team of eight who love allthe children and their families.

How have you been sharing your skills with local settings?

Other pre-schools visit us at the playgroup and I work with the localauthorities recommending changes to other pre-schools, such asalterations to their paperwork, ways to promote children's interests andchanges to their daily routine, providing an outside perspective to helpthem gain a good grade in their next inspection.
