A PRE-SCHOOL in Broadstairs has won full marks in its latest Ofsted report.

The Pierremont Park Pre-School which opened in 2005, received "outstanding" grades in the 17 possible categories after an inspection from education standards watchdog.

Owner Lucy Antoniou said: "All the staff and the manager Kjersti have worked really hard. The children know us as aunties and we try to make the atmosphere as friendly as possible, a home from home."

The Ofsted report said: "Each individual is fully catered for. Children are included and involved.

"The owner is committed to the children in her care and is excellent in promoting equality and diversity with the children."

Other areas which were praised included children's understanding of healthy eating including choosing fruit as snacks during the day and helping to weigh ingredients for making bread.

Categories in the inspection included children feeling safe, working with parents and the capacity for the nursery to improve.
