A KIDS club in Eynsham has been rated outstanding following a visit from inspectors.

Earlyworld Kids Club in Beech Road was given the highest possible rating in all areas by Ofsted.

The school had previously been rated as satisfactory following an inspection in September 2013 but was upgraded when visited earlier this month.

The 86-child club was said to have high standards for its staff, making sure youngsters received the best possible care and support.

Children were said to benefit significantly from the "highly stimulating" environment and inspectors said they had good opportunities to develop their confidence, respect others and learn about those different from themselves.

In her report inspector Gillian Little said: "Children develop high levels of confidence, such as taking turns to talk about their experiences within a large mixed-age group.

"Leaders, managers and staff have worked exceptionally hard to provide a much-improved play environment and exciting experiences.

"Staff are dedicated to helping children respect people who are

different from themselves."

Ms Little said the school could improve even further if it extended opportunities for children to develop their abilities to listen intently and be highly responsive to others.
