THESE children have every reason to smile.

Their Southampton pre-school has been declared good by inspectors from the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) who praised its safe environment, provision and organisation.

Inspectors found that children at the Harefield Pre-School in Yeovil Chase, Harefield, were able to "flourish" in the pre-school's challenging and exciting environment.

Pre-School leader Tina Ford, who has helped to oversee the pre-school's turnaround in performance during the last two years, said she was delighted.

"We have got a really good staff team and everyone is very supportive and works together really well.

"It's all about making sure that we go with the flow of the children and they are getting to do what they like."

The pre-school caters for 45 children aged from two years and nine months to four years and 11 months.
