REVIEWS from parents have resulted in a farm-based children’s nursery in Richmondshire being rated as one of the top 20 nurseries in the North-East of England.

A perfect review score of ten out of ten has seen High Bank Day Nursery in Stapleton awarded the accolade from the UK’s leading nursery review website, www.daynurseries.co.uk.

It comes just 18 months after High Bank was rated outstanding by Ofsted.

High Bank is the only nursery in the Richmondshire and Darlington area to be included in the top 20 list, with the others mainly from Teesside and Newcastle.

Nursery owner Lesley Thompson said: “We are thrilled. What makes it extra special is that it was solely down to the independent reviews of our parents.

“Since being listed on the website we have always been reviewed highly but to be rated ten out of ten is amazing. I would like to thank the staff and parents for their fantastic support; because we couldn’t achieve anything without them.”
