The Power of Play Nursery at Midford Road at Combe Down opened last year and there are 85 children on the roll.
The inspector, who visited last month, has published her report this week, judging the nursery to be Good in terms of quality of education, leadership and management, children’s personal development, and their behaviour and attitudes.
Her report says that babies and children form strong bonds with the friendly staff and their safety and well-being are closely supported.
The curriculum is said to take into account children’s individual needs and interests, which enables them to gain the key skills they need for future learning.
Children develop effective communication and language skills, listening and responding to staff, who extend their knowledge and vocabulary.
The inspector also says behavioural expectations are clearly communicated to children. Despite the challenges that some youngsters face through their development, behaviour in the nursery is good.
The report also highlights that children develop good physical skills and that staff help children identify risks, such as the outdoor rope swings, and assess how to use the resources safely.
Parents speak highly of the staff and report that they are kept well informed about their children’s day, and the progress they make.
