Islington- terrible changes recently with new management
Islington EL changed negatively a lot since management was replaced in 2024. Most important to management is how OFSTED inspection, they say it openly. The policies seem to be the justification for any changes affecting parents badly: chairs removed from waiting area, children can not go in 5 minutes earlier even if places are available to comply with strict adult ratios (common sense: children are 9-10 yo, visible to staff and parents at the front), when finished- kids are escorted out even if parents aren’t present (transport 2 minutes delay). Old management was open to brief discussions when children are brought in, siblings could use the toilet if desperate. New management cancelled it all! There is nothing nearby for parents to wait for kids to complete an hour session, many commute from far, or go to the toilet. Zone 1- no parking is available either. Center became inhumane.
