YOUNGSTERS at Crewe's Danebank Pre-school Playgroup are well-motivated and enthusiastic.

That's what the recent OFSTED report revealed, which proved highly positive to the delight of both parents and staff.

Based in Vine Tree Primary School since 1987, the group was found to be successful in fostering children's interest, enthusiasm and self-confidence.

Also praised was the good partnership between staff and parents which proved effective in supporting children's learning and the 'strong staff team, who act as good role models, and have a good relationship with children.'

"We're very pleased and after annual inspections over the last two years, the next one will be between two and four years away, the longest period possible," said supervisor Wendy Ellis.

The group runs seven sessions a week and is currently full but names can be taken for September by contacting 01270 661526.
