A NURSERY in Rixton was forced to temporarily close by Ofsted last week.

Woodside Barn Nursery, on Manchester Road, has been suspended whilst investigations are underway.

A spokesperson for Ofsted, said: ‘‘We can confirm that we have suspended the nursery while we establish the suitability of the provider and staff‘s ability to meet the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.’’

The nursery was previously rated as 'good' by Ofsted in March 2019.
