A preschool in Bristol has been rated 'Inadequate' following its latest visit from Ofsted.
During an inspection of Raysfield Pre-school Playgroup at Dodington Parish Hall in Chipping Sodbury on March 8 this year, Ofsted rated it as 'Inadequate' in all categories, including 'overall effectiveness', 'quality of education', 'behaviour and attitudes', 'personal development' and 'leadership and management'. It's ranking at its previous inspection was 'Good'.
Among its findings, Ofsted noted in the report that "children's safety and welfare are compromised" as the manager does not follow safer recruitment procedures to ensure staff are suitable for their role, nor do they follow the correct safeguarding procedures to inform the local authority or Ofsted when allegations are made against staff, "putting children at significant risk of harm".
