A PRE-SCHOOL in Bradford is “outstanding” and run by an “inspirational” manager, according to education inspectors.

Ofsted inspectors have judged First Steps Christian Pre-School in Bradford Road, Idle, outstanding in all categories following a visit last month. When it was last inspected in 2009 it was judged “good”.

The inspection report on the school, which has 77 children under the age of five, said: “The children are developing excellent attitudes to learning and are extremely confident and self-assured. The way in which teaching and learning is monitored by the manager is inspirational.”

Manager Hannah Stowe said: “I have to give a huge thank-you to the staff. We have amazing staff, amazing children and everything is highly supported by the parents.”
