Eastfield and Bilston Nursery Schools organised a carnival day at Eastfield Nursery, with children taking part in a parade and given a special t-shirt to mark the achievement.

Inspectors who visited Eastfield Nursery in March found that children 'really do bloom and grow' at the school, arriving 'happily each day with huge smiles ready to enjoy the well-planned activities on offer'.

Ofsted said the nursery's indoor and outside learning environment is 'superbly organised', there is an 'ambitious curriculum' and staff are 'expert, enthusiastic storytellers who bring traditional and modern tales alive'.
