STAFF and children at a Kingstone nursery have been celebrating after being rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted inspectors.

Little Acorns Nursery was found to be outstanding in all areas, with inspectors praising the quality of teaching and the staff's interaction with children.

The report also said that children were "very happy and emotionally secure" in the nursery because staff obtain detailed information from parents about each child's well-being and needs.

Safeguarding arrangements in the nursery were also considered excellent.

Nursery owner Elaine Campbell said: "I am delighted that we have once again been rated as an 'outstanding' nursery.

"It is especially rewarding that Ofsted has recognised the efforts and expertise of the nursery staff who always work extremely hard to deliver the best possible outcomes for all children.

"We are also pleased that the inspector recognised the excellent partnership we have forged with parents."
