By law, all childcare institutions are required to be inspected at least every four years, by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted).
More information on how Ofsted inspect nursery education providers can be found from their website, click here to visit the webpage in a new window now.

The Alphabet Train has a superb record of Ofsted Reports from throughout it's history. All our inspection reports (since 2004) are available through this page.
Reports from inspections prior to this are available direct from Ofsted (these have not been made available electronically by Ofsted, so must be posted out direct from Ofsted).

Young Photographer Strikes Again !

During our most recent inspection, one of our aspiring young photographers, by the name of Thomas, managed to capture this amazing image of the elusive "OfSTED Inspector" in his natural habitat !
Well done Thomas !
(for any OfSTED inspectors reading - we can't be held responsible for what our young photographers may capture during your visit!!!)
