After an inspection on November 18, St John’s Nursery Playgroup at Oakmere School on Chace Avenue learned in January that they had been rated ‘outstanding’ by the government inspectors.
The coveted rating applied to all four measures that inspectors considered when they rated the Potters Bar playgroup: leadership effectiveness, quality of teaching, personal development, and outcomes for children.
The report said staff are “inspiring”, saying “their teaching is exceptional”.
The report described how activities help the little ones learn at all levels of ability, and that they have a wealth of “exciting” resources both indoors and outdoors.

“Children have extremely positive attitudes to learning,” continues the report, after describing how they improve quickly from various different starting points.
“I am thrilled that we have achieved this grading,” said playgroup leader Alyson Gnessen.
