Sheffield pre-school celebrates 'outstanding' Ofsted report

Sunshine Pre-School, in Woodthorpe, has been judged as outstanding following a visit from the education watchdog - a step up from its previous 'good' rating.

Inspector Carly Polak found children 'flourish,' management is 'inspirational' and the education programmes are 'exemplary'.

Pre-school manager, Becky Kirk, said: "We feel extremely proud of the children and happy the dedication of the staff team has been recognised.

"Acknowledging the hard work with such wonderful words as exceptional, exemplary and inspirational is a brilliant feeling."

"The term outstandingly outstanding has now become a buzz word in the pre-school."

The inspection report said staff are 'excellent role models' for the children and found management work tirelessly to support staff and ensure children benefit from early years provision of the highest quality.

To further improve the inspector said the pre-school must enhance its 'highly effective' programme of professional development to sustain the already outstanding teaching practice.
