PUPILS at the Rainbow Montessori Nursery School in Winscombe are celebrating after the centre was given an ‘outstanding’ rating after a recent Ofsted inspection.

The school has also become the only nursery in Somerset to be accredited by the Montessori Evaluation and Accreditation Board (MEAB).

Owner Pauline Barnford said: “I am incredibly proud of all the staff, who work hard at continually improving our practice.

“We are pleased that our efforts are reflected in the quality of the provision we offer and are delighted that it has been recognised by Ofsted and MEAB.”
