Dedicated staff at a Nailsea preschool are celebrating after scoring an outstanding Ofsted rating.

Church Lane Preschool, which is held in Holy Trinity Church, was rated outstanding in every area following an inspection on September 25.

The report, by Sarah Peacock, states: “All staff deliver constantly high-quality teaching and learning experiences which support children to make outstanding progress in their learning.”

The inspector noted behaviour in the setting was ‘excellent’ and said staff are excellent role models for the children.

Ruth Sheffield, co-owner of the preschool, said: “We were delighted at the outstanding grade that we were given but it’s thanks to a very well motivated and dedicated staff team. This was our third consecutive outstanding report.”
