A SHADSWORTH nursery and pre-school centre held a party to celebrate their 'outstanding' Ofsted inspection.

Officials at Evolution Childcare on Shadsworth Business Park invited parents and kids to the party on Wednesday.

Sarah Fox, nursery manager, said: "We have been open since July 2016 and this was our first inspection.

"We did not expect to get Outstanding first time round as only 3.5 per cent of early years establishments get it on their first visit.

"Our inspector in 21 years had only given one other outstanding.

"She put it down to the passion of the management team about high-quality of teaching and training support of staff.

"There are 25 members of staff on the site and she told us it shone through that everyone has the same ethos and everyone was passionate."

The centre caters for 159 children aged between 0 and 4 and before and after school children.

They have also been nominated for three Nursery Management Times awards including Sarah Fox in the running for the nursery manager of the year, while Adam Catlow for the room leader for the year and nursery team of the year.
