Birchfield Prepcare Nursery, based in the grounds of Birchfield Prep School near Albrighton, has been upgraded to 'Outstanding' in all areas after a recent Ofsted report.

The nursery received a visit from the education watchdog on September 5, and inspectors were impressed with its 21 members of staff who care for children from six weeks old to five years old, all year round.

Bosses at the nursery have dedicated the successful report and wonderful news to Penny Shevyn who died in August this year. Penny was the first manager of the prepcare group and is missed by all who knew her at the nursery.

Nursery manager Sue Lawrence said: "Not only was she a wonderful manager, she was also a very good friend."
