All Children’s Centres were subject to an Ofsted inspection on a five yearly cycle.  The inspections were carried out under Part 3A of the Childcare Act 2006, as amended by Section 199 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009. 

Both Westcliff and Little Goslings Children Centres were phase one centres, both providing the full core offer of services to their respective communities.  Separate Ofsted Inspection Teams inspected the centres on 15 and 16 December 2011.  The inspections were conducted using the revised, more demanding inspection guidance issued by Ofsted in September 2011. 

The inspection reports gave a judgement on the overall effectiveness of the provision and the capacity for sustained improvement. 

The report gave full details of the outcomes of the inspections.

Resolved – (a) That the improvements in the Westcliff and Little Goslings Children’s Centres continue to be supported, and (b) that the Cabinet Member writes to both Children’s Centre managers and makes suitable comments on the inspection reports.
