A Swindon nursery school's hard work has paid off - with a recent Ofsted inspection giving it the highest rating possible. 

Imagination Childcare, in Moredon, has been given a result of 'outstanding' following its latest inspection on March 24.  

The early-years setting was set up by local education entrepreneur Becky Cruise and was found to be 'outstanding’ for all categories including quality of education, behaviour & attitudes, personal development, and leadership & management

The Ofsted report said: "Children are thriving superbly in their communication and language development, across all age groups.

"Babies are cheerfully babbling and developing early communication.

"Toddler-aged children are practising their newly learnt language skills by creating friendships and communicating their needs to trusted staff.

"Preschool children have exceptional language skills. They confidently have meaningful conversations with adults and peers during role play and circle times.’

Becky Cruise, director of Imagination Nursery added: "We are beyond delighted with the results. Our excellent staff were praised for their promotion of inclusion and diversity and for their deep knowledge of each child.

"We have all worked hard to create an exceptional environment where our children can thrive and we are grateful to all the parents who entrust their small people to us each day."

Imagination was set up in September 2015 and now has 93 children of nursery age.
