Children and staff at a Pershore nursery school have a spring in their step after a good Ofsted report.

Hopscotch Pre-School, in Priest Lane, was visited by inspectors in December and manager Vicky Faizey was especially pleased that the high marks achieved were awarded across the board.

She said: "The inspection went really well and we are all very pleased with the report. Normally there are some areas that are weaker than others so it was great to see we were given good grades on all of the areas of inspection.

"I took over last year and have tried to build things from there. We had a bit of a reshuffle in terms of staff and I just want to thank all of them for their fantastic work and support over the year."

Hopscotch Pre-School opened in 1994 and operates from St Wulstan's Hall, where 24 pupils attend daily and 35 are on the roll.

Ofsted reports mark sections of a school's performance on a scale of one to four, one being oustanding and four being inadequate. Hospcotch was given grade two scores for all, meaning provision is good.

The sections looked at by inspector Saida Cummings included helping children to be healthy, keeping children safe, helping them achieve, making a positive contribution, organisation and if any improvements were made since the last inspection.
