Derby College’s nursery Little Explorers, based at the Broomfield Hall campus in Morley, has been rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted inspectors in all areas of its work.
The inspection, which took place in November, looked at four key areas – effectiveness of leadership and management, quality of education; personal development and behaviour and attitudes – all of which were judged as ‘Outstanding’.
Buxton Festival Fringe (July 5-23 2023) celebrated being open for entries at a lively Christmas party on December 9th. The event was held at the prestigious Buxton Pump Room, a Fringe venue, and featured a Derbyshire Village Carols singalong led by Kaleidoscope Choir’s Carol and Ian Bowns. Party food and drinks plus a bumper raffle generously supported by Buxton shops and businesses added to the festive fun.
