The report, published on August 6, praised the family-run setting for creating an "exceptionally warm and welcoming" environment where children "flourish".

Inspectors rated the nursery Outstanding across all key areas - the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.

To celebrate its 'Outstanding' judgement, the nursery held a party and lunch for children and staff on Wednesday (September 3), with plans already in place for an extra special Christmas party later this year.
