do ofsted inspect nurseries during school holidays or are they on holiday as well?

We are waiting for a re-visit from Ofsted.I wondered if they Inspect Early Years establishments during school holidays or are they on holiday themselves.


If your provision does not operate during the holidays then Ofsted will not come to reinspect during the holidays but if you are registered to be open for holiday school they can still inspect you during holiday time when the Nursery is open. That is why it is important to let Ofsted know which days you are open and which days you are closed during the year.
Hope it goes well for you, we are also expecting Ofsted in our Nursery following the inspection in winter.

Does scoring satisfactory for Ofsted in most areas mean its a bad school?

my secondary has recently received satisfactory in most areas in their Ofsted report. Does this mean it is a bad school.? around 3 school in my areas received satisfactory. one scored good and one scored outstanding. should i be worried about my education.


Yes. It is not a good school. It is below average. You should study harder to get the best and achieve higher grades because your school sucks!

Has anyone complained to OFSTED about their childs school ?

I know the process , going to complain but want to know if the school then buck up their ideas or will they single out my child & I ?
Unfortunately you have to go through the school first before complaining .Alice Mason ,I am with you on that ;My son is borderline special needs & the school has failed him . I do not want that to happen to any other child . x.


If the school is really bad and you've presumably already complained to the Head and the Governing Body then I wouldn't expose your child to it any more. Find a new school.

Where do I find Primary School Ofsted Inspection Newspaper reports?



Not sure what you mean by newspaper reports, local press have access to reports but usually rely on local authority press releases that summarise inspection reports.
Actual reports accessible to everyone from Ofsted website (see below) about two weeks after the inspection.
Parents should be sent a summary report by the school.

  • Poole High School branded "inadequate" by Ofsted (From Bournemouth ...

    POOLE’S biggest secondary school has been given a notice to improve after inspectors rated it as “inadequate.”

    They said the 1,647-pupil school in Wimborne Road “requires significant improvement” and said achievement, especially in English, is too low.

    Ofsted inspectors visited the school in November last year and concluded improvement is underway, but that it ”has not been rapid enough to reverse the decline identified at the last inspection.”

    Inspectors said lessons “rarely excite students or engage them sufficiently in their learning” and said GCSE attainment in Year 11 is “below average overall and significantly below in several subjects, most notably in English.”

    Head teacher Chris Lewis, who has been in post for two years, was praised in the report, which said: “Staff, students and parents share a common view that the head teacher has reinvigorated the school, for example by achieving business and enterprise specialist status and by refocusing the school on the importance of teaching and learning.”
