The Care Inspectorate has carried out an inspection of Newtonhill School Nursery. The nursery has two sessions each day for a maximum of 40 children at each session, during school term times.
The Care Inspectorate issues grades after an inspection, on a scale from 1 to 6, where 1 is unsatisfactory and 6 is excellent. The results for Newtonhill are:
Quality of care and support 3 – Adequate
Quality of environment 4 – Good
Quality of staffing 4 – Good
Quality of management and leadership 4 – Good.
A number of recommendations were made to improve the grading, however there are many positive comments in the report.
