As many of you know we had our OFSTED INSPECTION in February 2005, Having achieved a top result in our last one in 2001 we were hoping to get top results again. We can now tell you that we at Trinity Hall achieved the highest OFSTED inspection outcome possible with a resounding 3 to 4 year re inspection result! Can I say in our newsletter here, to all our dedicated and super staff and our Manager Dolly Anderson WELL DONE ALL OF YOU! and thanks for all the effort you put in before, during and after the inspection. OFSTED do not give these results out willy - nilly, they can only be achieved by hard work, dedication, and proven excellent educational standards.
WE ARE PROUD TO HAVE DONE IT!  If you would like to read our report, copies will be available in the nursery for parents and staff. If you would like to read it at home and can access the Internet you can go to the following address..... www.ofsted.gov.uk/reports/index.cfm?fuseaction=ccreportHTML&id=122638  Alternatively you can go to www.ofsted.gov.uk
and do a search for "reports" then Trinity Hall Kindergarten by postcode, then "February 2005 report."
Thanks also go to our super parents and carers who give us such tremendous support over the years, both with our fund-raising and day to day needs. All of us thank you for your ongoing kindness and generosity.

Please let us know if your child will be leaving us at the end of this term, or if you would like to increase the number of sessions, this information is very important to us as we have to plan for our waiting list which is heavily subscribed to. Also we are planning two "OPEN MORNINGS" to enable interested parents of children who may move across to the other hall, with the older children.

Dates for the open morning will be given soon.
