“Fantastic results” for New Start’s Childcare Services following Ofsted inspection!
New Start is pleased to announce that following a recent Ofsted inspection all their Residential Childcare Services continue to remain ‘Good’ in all areas with “outstanding” features.
The Ofsted inspection framework focuses on the most important aspects of New Start’s work. Inspectors make judgments about the effectiveness of the department’s leadership and management. They also make a judgment about the departments overall effectiveness.
Ofsted uses a four-point scale to make qualitative judgments during inspections. Detailed descriptions are provided for each grade to ensure that inspectors make consistent judgments. These grade/judgments encourage companies like New Start to strive for further improvements.
New Start boss, Neil Baynes, said: “In the early years, we provided services for just a small number of vulnerable adults, but now, in our 18th year of work in the social care sector, we have grown into a well-established and successful organisation.”
New Start employ a committed workforce of nearly 100 members of staff, who provide a broad range of residential and social care services designed to meet the diverse needs of over 300 vulnerable men, women, children and young people across Merseyside.
The continued growth of New Start has been the direct result of their commitment to continually reinvest their revenue wisely into the development of activities and services that directly relate to the organisation’s aspirations. This ethos has enabled them to expand the diversity of the services we offer and have a positive impact on the communities they serve.
Neil added: “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.”
“All the developments we have undertaken are motivated by New Start’s mission statement that is socially focused, and we are committed to ensuring these values will continue to be at the heart of our work going forward.”
Great news, Neil, and congratulations to everyone at New Start. Well done!
