Bobtails Playgroup

On our last day of term as we broke up for the Christmas holidays I received a wonderful early Christmas present. I received a letter from Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector Christine Gilbert congratulating me and my team at Bobtails Playgroup, Horley Infant School on receiving an OUTSTANDING Judgement at our recent Ofsted Inspection.  The letter said “One of my most enjoyable annual duties as Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector is to publish a list of providers that were judged to be outstanding when they were inspected.  Please accept my warmest congratulations on achieving this very high standard of practice”  The Bobtails team will  also be invited to attend a special event where Ofsted will mark our achievements and meet Christine Gilbert in person!  The letter also said “Please accept my sincere congratulations once again and my thanks for all you are doing to raise standards across the sector and, in doing so, improving lives.”

It is lovely that my teams hard work and determination to make sure that all the children at Bobtails have so much fun while learning is recognised.  Justine Palmer Manager

Bobtails is again very proud to report that our Playgroup at Horley Infant School received an OUTSTANDING Judgement from Ofsted in July 2008.  This is the third Outstanding Judgement we have received at our Horley Playgroups in the last 4 years!

Ofsted arrived unannounced at our Horley Infant playgroup just two days after we moved into our new building!  Ofsted were so impressed with our playgroup that they made NO recommendations to improve it!  This is extremely rare!  You can view all of our reports online on the Ofsted website.
