Shout! Ofsted Inspections

The purpose of the Ofsted inspection is to assure government, parents and the public of the quality and standard of day care. When making judgements, inspectors have to inspect how well the provider meets the requirements of the Early Years Register. They look at the setting and make judgements on what it is like for a child to be there.

There are three Shout! venues that are registered, Bell Farm Activity Scheme, Chandlers Field Activity Scheme and the Walton Playhouse. These Shout! venues are registered on the Early Years, Compulsory and Voluntary Registers which means that we must meet the requirements for care of children aged 5 to 12 years old.

A paper copy of the inspection report is available to all parents if requested. It can also be viewed on the |Ofsted website.

Grading system

Grade 1: outstanding - applies to provision that is exceptional and way
above the norm.
Grade 2: good - applies to strong provision in which children are well cared
for.
Grade 3: satisfactory - applies to provision which is sound but could be
better.
Grade 4: inadequate: category 1 - applies to provision which is weak. It
gives cause for concern but is likely to improve without external help and
support.
Grade 4: inadequate: category 2 - applies to poor provision which needs
urgent attention. It gives cause for concern and is unlikely to improve
without enforcement action being taken by us, and help and support from
external agencies.
