A Welwyn nursery has been awarded a second “outstanding” grade after a recent Ofsted inspection.

Staff at Tenterfield Nursery, London Road, achieved the same result they did in 2011 in all areas.

Headteacher Hannah Isher said she was “absolutely delighted” with the grade.

She said: “The staff work incredibly hard to provide the best for every child and family that attends Tenterfield and it was great to have this recognised during the recent inspection.”

Areas the report highlighted included teaching, behaviour and achievement.

The report stated: “Children’s achievement is outstanding and they develop skills that are above those typically found for their age by the time they move on to primary school.”
