AN ORFORD nursery is celebrating after being rated good by Ofsted inspectors.

Cupcakes Pre-School, which is based at the Hawthorn Centre on Orange Grove, was visited by inspectors on March 16 and has subsequently received a grading of good in all areas.

The pre-school was praised for being a ‘happy and welcoming environment’.

Ofsted’s report said: “Children independently explore their environment.

“They have a wide range of resources that appeals to their interests – this helps to develop their curiosity, engage them in play and increase their motivation to learn.

“The pre-school is a happy, welcoming environment – children appear confident and reassured and staff know all children well.”
