CHILDREN and staff from Stepping Stones Pre-School in Crondall came out in force as they celebrated their well-earned ‘outstanding’ rating from Ofsted.

To celebrate their achievements they hosted a village garden party in the centre’s outdoor learning area.

The party was attended by around 50 people, of which included parents, children, staff and residents of the community.

Previously commenting on the pre-school’s success, Kerstin White, chair of Crondall Stepping Stones, said that staff and supporters have worked “incredibly hard to achieve this ‘outstanding’ report’.

“The garden party was their way of commemorating this accomplishment and to thank everyone who has helped along the way.”
