Clervaux Nursery, on Clervaux Terrace in Jarrow, has maintained its 'Outstanding' Ofsted rating following an inspection in July.

The latest rating means that the nursery has maintained its 'Outstanding' status after delivering back-to-back top results.

Ofsted inspectors stated that the school "truly lives up to its motto of 'children at the heart of everything we do'" and branded it as a "little gem in the heart of the community".

The report stated: "Children love coming to this welcoming and vibrant nursery school. They flourish because of the caring and consistent approach every adult shows.

"Children are eager to begin their learning each day. They relish the wealth of captivating things for them to do, both inside and outside.

"Children enjoy their constant interactions and dialogue with adults.

Staff take great care to get to know every child thoroughly, including before they start, to ensure that they are fully included in what the school has to offer.
