Zone4Kids at Whitley Bay

Outstanding again!

Zone4kids at Whitley Lodge judged outstanding again by Ofsted!

It was another amazing Ofsted inspection for Zone4kids at Whitley Lodge on the 14th of March 2024. Some 6 years after our last outstanding inspection Nursery Manager, Jayne Turnbull and her amazing team repeated their previous success and were awarded with an outstanding judgement.

Managing Director, Robert Kilsby stated, ‘This is just reward for how well this setting is run, Jayne has an amazing work ethic and puts everything she can into making this nursery so special. We must also praise area manager, Michelle, and all the staff for their dedicaton and enthusiasm in making Zone4kids such an outstanding setting. To have outstanding for 2 consecutive inspections shows there is a consistent level of exemplary childcare at all times’

Director Kaye Kilsby was also delighted and very pleased to arrange a night of celebration at the nearby Davantis in Whitley Lodge.
