A CHILDREN'S centre in Tottenham is celebrating passing three Ofsted inspections with flying colours.

Woodlands Park Nursery School and Children's Centre was found to be giving its children the best start in life scoring either 'good' or 'outstanding' in all categories.

Inspectors praised the centre, in Woodlands Park Road, for its "happy and friendly atmosphere" that helped children to thrive and for the positive relationships it had built with other agencies in order to safeguard children.

Care, guidance and support was also found to be 'outstanding' and "as a result, children feel extremely safe, lead healthy lifestyles and make good progress in their learning", the report noted.

Headteacher Peter Catling said: "Staff at the centre work really hard, the children are fantastic and the parents and governors give us incredible support.

"We are pleased that each of the reports highlighted very good team working and the excellent relationships that exist with parents and the wider community."

All of the reports praised the quality of leadership from the headteacher, deputy, senior management team and governing body for their clear vision for the centre.
