A NIGHT of wine, make-up and hair highlights was enjoyed by staff at a Didcot pre-school who were pampered to celebrate an outstanding Ofsted result.

Local salon Segais Hair and Beauty in Broadway wanted to say thank-you for the work the Ladybird Pre-School does in the community.

Sam Coutts, an assistant at the pre-school in Lydalls Close, said: “Quite a few people had their make-up done and some had haircuts and highlights. It means so much to get an outstanding rating from Ofsted. Then to be treated like that was really something.”

The salon gave 17 members of the team their chosen treatments before they had a celebratory meal.

Ofsted’s rating highlighted the “exceptional quality of teaching” at Ladybird, noting that “highly qualified and experienced staff have an expert knowledge of how children learn and have high expectations of them”.
