OFSTED Voluntary Registered
One of the great benefits of using Coast Activity Programme is that Coast is OFSTED-registered. This gives you added assurance and peace of mind in our provision.
We are thrilled to announce that we are now on the Ofsted voluntary register! We have waited quite some time for this to come through so we are delighted to finally be able to announce this with you all.
OFSTED is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. They inspect and regulate services that care for children and young people, and services providing education and skills for learners of all ages.
What this means:
Now that our services are regulated by Ofsted, you can be offered that extra assurance in the standards that we uphold.
This also means that we can accept payment for camps through the tax-free childcare scheme at: Helston Community College, St Ives Secondary School, St Ives leisure centre and Hayle Academy.
For more information on the tax-free scheme and to check your eligibility please use the following link: https://www.gov.uk/get-tax-free-childcare
