Little Ones Childcare has nurseries in Westexe, Budlake, Whipton, Wonford and Honiton.
Managing director Katie Porter said, 'It's a huge achievement. I am so proud to have gained 100 per cent outstanding. It is lovely to get recognition for all the hard work we've put in and makes it all worth it.'
Only six in ten providers of childcare and early education are usually graded 'good' or 'outstanding', according to Ofsted's annual report 2007/2008.
Ms Porter puts the nurseries' success down to their high-quality provision, excellent teams and relatively small capacities, which are intended to create a home-from-home environment. The chain's largest setting, in Westexe, Exeter, is registered for 38 places.
