A BLACKBURN nursery was praised by Ofsted inspectors.

Fernbank Nursery, Lammack Road, which is run within Lammack County Primary School, was awarded an overall grade two or ‘good’ score by government officials.

In the report Inspector Janet Elizabeth Singleton said: “The setting is very effective at promoting many aspects of the children’s welfare and development ensuring they are safe and secure.

“They recognise the uniqueness of each child through the good use of the observation system.

“Children are supported and make good choices about their play.

“Partnership with parents is good, although they are not fully included in the learning requirement and assessment of their child."
