New Ofsted figures have revealed that Cornwall is one the best performing areas in the South West for pre-school education. 

More than a quarter of the county’s nurseries and pre-schools were given an ‘outstanding’ overall rating at their last inspection. That is one of the highest in the South West region - and nearly twice the national average.

The latest Ofsted figures also show that 98 per cent of Cornwall’s Ofsted registered pre-schools, nurseries and childminders are rated as good and outstanding, which is ahead of the national average of 95 per cent.   

Early years inspections look at safeguarding and welfare requirements, development and delivery of the early years foundation stage educational programmes; identifying children’s starting points and ensure that children make progress in their learning through effective planning, observation and assessment.
