Directors and staff at The Sunshine Centre are feeling very proud after becoming the first early years provider in the county to achieve an ‘outstanding’ rating in the Oxfordshire Caremark Awards.

The centre in Edmunds Road, Banbury, demonstrated how children in care are supported to achieve their full potential in a fun and nurturing environment.

The assessor commented she had not visited any other setting which goes above and beyond to the level the centre does to ensure these children receive the best care and education.

Centre manager Jill Edge said every child deserves the best they can offer to meet their needs, which is at the very heart of their early years provision.
