Perform is Ofsted registered

Perform is Ofsted registered. This not only means that you can pay for classes and courses using Childcare Vouchers, but also, more importantly, you can be reassured that your child is in safe hands.

In 2022, Ofsted carried out several inspections of our settings which resulted in fantastic feedback which we'd love to share. We've since had another successful inspection in 2023. Please note, Out of School setting standards are now being rated either Met or Not Met rather than the previously used scale of Outstanding to Inadequate.
