CHILDREN are developing confidence and caring attitudes at a preschool in Oxford, Ofsted has said.

The education and childcare regulator visited New Marston Preschool last month, and yesterday published its report.

It rated the 24-pupil preschool, located in the grounds of St Michael's CE Primary School, 'good'.

Ofsted wrote: "Children show care and concern for others.

"Children are confident, well-motivated and engage positively in play and learning.

"They enjoy exploring the stimulating environment and they develop a range of important skills for future lives.

"Staff help children to respect people who are different from themselves."
