FOR the third year running, a children's home has received an outstanding report from Ofsted.
Fifty dedicated staff at Grimsby's Cromwell House are "over the moon" that their hard work has been recognised by the education watchdog.
The home provides short-break services and accommodation for 43 children with disabilities.
Inspector Ann-Marie Born said in the report: "It provides them with new life experiences while improving confidence and building self-esteem.
"Parents and social workers report very positively about the quality of care and experiences for young people.
"Children and young people are safe and thriving as a result of the personalised care and exceptional relationships they enjoy with staff and each other.
"Children and young people are treated with warmth, dignity and respect."
The report also stated that the youngsters feel "valued because they are individually important".
Karen Stones, unit manager, said the home is really proud to achieve this top accolade.
She said: "We were rated over five areas without any stone being unturned and we were awarded "outstanding" in each area.
"This year, Ofsted has made standards higher than ever before – so all staff have been putting their maximum effort in.
"Over the year since their last inspection, we hoped to show Ofsted we strive to develop our service all the time with a new health unit which opened last month."
Parent Nina Airey, from Grimsby, describes the service as "second to none" as she uses it for respite care once a week for her son Luke, 17, who suffers from juvenile Huntington's disease and other complex medical needs.
She said: "Luke is very well cared for, and when he is at Cromwell House we can catch up on some sleep.
"He gains friends from going and we trust the staff to care for him so I can relax when he is there.
"I would have been shocked if Ofsted didn't give the home outstanding because I cannot praise them enough."
