A nursery has lodged an official complaint against an inspection report which branded it “inadequate”.

Little Pickles Nursery, in White Ash Green, Halstead, received the damning verdict in a report published by Ofsted in October.

But Ofsted has since announced the nursery has made “satisfactory improvement” in response to issues raised in the report.

Owner Candy Don said: “We have had lots of experts here who have advised us and helped us and said we have done a great job.

“We have made a full complaint to Ofsted which we are following through this week."
