A CENTRE that helps children with cerebral palsy has just received a glowing Ofsted report.

Staff at the Rainbow Centre in Shearwater Avenue, Fareham, are celebrating after an inspector from the government's education watchdog said they provide a "high quality" educational service.

In the report the inspector wrote: "The Rainbow Centre for Conductive Education offers high quality nursery education, where children make very good progress towards the early learning goals. The quality of teaching is very good."

She added: "The provision is acceptable and is of high quality."

The centre focuses on helping children to learn to overcome the difficulties they face.

They use a technique developed in Hungary called conductive education, which teaches disabled children to learn functions that would develop naturally in other children.

The centre currently has 17 children aged three to five.

Magdi Kovacs, service manager, said: "We are very proud of this achievement and feel it is a true reflection of the dedication and professionalism shown by the staff.

"We strive for excellence in all we do and that shows in our outstanding Ofsted report."
