In November 2019 Jolly Pirates had their ETI Inspection. We were delighted with the feedback on the day and the extremely positive feedback we received about Jolly Pirates Pre-school. 
The Education Training Inspectorate have now finalised and released our Inspection Report. 

Our Inspection Report can be downloaded below or found at the following link. 
If any parents or perspective parents have any questions about the report or would like to discuss it further, please get in touch.
