We have moved to nearby nurseries in the area.
Inspired Education is all about a free play type of environment. The children in the nursery just run around and play, as they please. There is no structure. The teachers are also told not to teach too much… Maths was removed from the curriculum! Of course, we were not asking for calculus, but even basic counting was shunned.
With the amount of school fees, it is a shame there is no proper outside space. The children are taken to a small garden square via coach, but not ideal for such small children.
There are huge screens in every room. The children watch lots of songs on YouTube. There is also yoga sessions they practice following lessons on YouTube.
The children are also not challenged - they are taught basic songs and the younger groups were not given a platform to perform during Christmas. Several parents had to demand for their children to have the opportunity to perform.
The Head is a pawn for Inspired to execute its wishes. There isn’t a proper community of parents either because there is a lot of dissatisfaction.
Several policies are changed without notifying parents, like school pick up and drop off. This has caused a lot of hassle for parents doing the school run for children at primary schools.
At our new nurseries, there is structured learning and it is really impressive to see progress. Fellow parents are also interested in fostering a supportive community.
Our one regret is not leaving Wetherby Pembridge Minors earlier.
With this experience, many parents are keeping their children out of the Inspired Education group of schools.
