JANUARY was a "good" month for a Crawley nursery after it received a positive Ofsted report.
Willow Tree Pre-School, on Stagelands, in Langley Green, was rated "good" by the education watchdog.
Willow Tree, which currently looks after 76 children at the Langley Green Centre, was praised for keeping children safe, ensuring good communication between parents and staff, and for taking steps to ensure there is continued improvement.
It is not yet "outstanding" – the highest possible rating – because "staff do not make the most of opportunities to encourage children in literacy activities indoors to support their early writing skills".
The pre-school was inspected on January 9 and Ofsted published its report on January 30.
When it was last inspected in May 2011 it was also given a rating of "good".
