Some quotes from our latest Ofsted report:-

‘The provision is outstanding.’
‘Children learn and play in an extremely safe and homely setting. Children benefit from excellent range of age-appropriate resources. Children are extremely well safeguarded by excellent safety procedures, implemented by very safety conscious staff.

Bankfield achieved the PLA accreditation award after staff and management evaluated good practice and evidenced the high quality care and education they provide at Bankfield.
In February 2008 Bankfield was delighted to receive the Highly Effective Setting title from the Local Education Authority. We are naturally proud of this achievement which proves our commitment to high quality care and education. |
