We have managed to secure an enviable inspection record through a combination of systems, procedures and hard work by all our staff. We pride ourselves on the results we achieve and these form one of the most direct feedback systems for the staff in the homes to see how their work is perceived externally.
The way that inspections work, is to assess against the National Minimum Standards for Children’s Homes and against the ‘Every Child Matters’ outcomes on a scale of:
Inadequate
Satisfactory
Good
Outstanding
From the additional inspection standards – Summary and Organisation, we were marked as satisfactory for two of these, good for two and outstanding for two:

Inspections can only paint part of the picture and the best way to get a feel for the work we do and the value that it can have in redressing the balance of opportunity for a young person is to see the home in action and to talk to the people who work there. Please accept our invitation to visit the homes and the administration team and see for yourself the standards we maintain in all aspects of our work.
Please note that Little Trees has been closed for refurbishment and so has not been part of the current round of Ofsted inspections.
