New Start is pleased to announce that following a recent Ofsted inspection all our Residential Childcare Services continue to remain 'Good' in all areas with Outstanding features.

The inspection framework focuses on the most important aspects of New Start’s work. Inspectors make judgements about the effectiveness of the department’s leadership and management. They also make a judgement about the departments overall effectiveness.

Ofsted uses a four point scale to make qualitative judgements during inspections. Detailed descriptions are provided for each grade to ensure that inspectors make consistent judgements. These grade / judgements encourage companies like New Start to strive for further improvements.

The New Start Childcare team always maintain the highest levels of standards and safety in order to provide the young people with the best service. This has been exemplified by the fantastic results they achieved in the most recent inspection.
