PUPILS and staff at an East Yorkshire nursery school are celebrating their latest award.

Pocklington Montessori Nursery has gained accreditation under the Montessori Evaluation and Accreditation Board (MEAB) scheme, which offers support and guidance to Montessori nurseries in order to ensure quality.

The scheme is also aimed at reassuring parents that the school meets all the requirements of the early years foundation stage.

The nursery has received its accreditation certificate and a logo for use on its website, and was presented with a plaque.

Pocklington Montessori Nursery is based on the A1079 on the outskirts of Pocklington, and has 100 children between the ages of one and four years.
