A PLAYSCHOOL in Sheet is been celebrating after being graded as "outstanding" by Ofsted.

Stepping Stones, located in the Scout Hut on Inmans Lane, earned the grade for its provision of early years childcare.

The Ofsted inspector said the staff and management "strive for excellence".

Manager Kim Griffiths said: "I'm extremely proud of Stepping Stones, our wonderful and dedicated staff, and the children and families that make Stepping Stones so special.

"It's wonderful to see our hard work so highly commended by Ofsted."
