A NURSERY in Kempsey is celebrating after being rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted.

Magic Moments Day Nursery in Main Road received the highest possible rating from the education watchdog after a visit in June.

Inspectors praised the centre for ensuring “children flourish and have a wonderful time in the extremely safe, secure, stimulating and well-resourced surroundings”.

Staff were similarly recognised for their “excellent knowledge” and for “outstanding care and teaching”.

Sharron Chapman, owner of the nursery, said: “I am thrilled we've been awarded outstanding in all areas yet again by Ofsted.

“I am hugely proud of the amazing staff, who work extremely hard to create a fun and engaging educational environment for all of the children.”

The nursery will be celebrating its Ofsted success – as well as its 10th anniversary – on Sunday, September 13, from 10am 2pm.

The event will feature face-painting, a bouncy castle, cake sales and fun activities such as hook-a-duck and a teddy bear hunt. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
