A PENKETH nursery has stepped up to 'Good' in its latest Ofsted inspection.

Chapel Road Children's Day Nursey, on Chapel Road, moved up a grade after inspectors visited before Christmas.

The report said: "Staff have good and sometimes, outstanding teaching skills and an excellent understanding of the early years foundation stage.

"They enthusiastically engage children in purposeful play and consequently, all children make good and sometimes rapid progress in relation to their starting points.

"Children form strong attachments because staff have a very warm and welcoming approach and work very closely with parents to help children settle quickly."

The report added to be outstanding, the outdoor learning environment needed to be improved and provide more information for parents to support their child's learning at home.
