Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support in place for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is excellent. Staff ensure that children with SEND get the support that they need. Intervention plans are monitored with rigour and links with external professionals are rooted in mutual trust and respect. Gaps in learning close and children with SEND flourish.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.

We moved our son to this nursery after his previous provision was rated inadequate. The manager and staff have really worked hard to support our son in his transition and he now loves to attend.
