In her report, Ms Thouless said the children at Early Steps were “well prepared” for the step up to primary education.
She added: “Staff support children exceptionally well and praise their achievements, which helps to support children’s self-esteem and emotional well-being.
“Staff take the time to get to know children and they use what they know about children’s interests to plan activities that excite and engage them.
