Part of the report reads: "Children are highly motivated and have a wide range of experiences provided for them, to build on what they already know. They flourish in this stimulating and inclusive setting.
"Staff place a high priority on enhancing children's imagination and their language. For example, children eagerly plan in the pretend doctors' and vets' area which is expertly supported by the well-qualified staff."
Chris Resiegh is the manager of the nursery.
She said: "We have all been so pleased because you can't have a weak link in the team. Every member of staff has to be on point. [The inspector] would ask everyone the same question to make sure we were on the same page.
