CELEBRATIONS are being had at a North Yorkshire nursery following a recent visit by inspectors.

LiveWires Nursery and Out of School Club, based in the grounds of Easingwold Community Primary School, in Thirsk Road, Easingwold, was rated ‘Good’ in all areas by Ofsted after an inspection on December 13.

At the time of the inspection there were 102 children on roll.

This inspection was the first since 2019, when the provider was also rated Good.

In the report, inspectors stated that “Children show excitement and enthusiasm as they arrive at the nursery” and “staff know how to meet children’s individual care needs”.
