Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported very well. The manager researches and ensures staff have the information they need, staff make adaptations quickly, and they work closely with outside professionals so agencies visit the nursery rather than children attending clinics.

Outdoor space

Staff ensure children have ample opportunity to be outside to develop large-muscle skills through activities such as jumping, climbing and balancing on an obstacle course of cable reels, where they learn to assess risk. Children also feed birds and observe a bird house they made.

Both my children attended this nursery and honestly was the best choice we have made in a very long time, both of our children improved at almost everything the fact the staff actually care about your children's welfare and will do anything to help improve their wellbeing is beyond words, when our children left this nursery it was like losing family members the efforts they made with our son who has educational needs just show the type of people they are, this is the type of place every parent hopes that they are sending their children to, my son's speech improved his emotional control improved, they helped with advice when we needed it and were never in any way judgemental in fact were always very easy to approach on any subject and you just knew there was genuine care. Thank you Amy, Sue, Sarah, Sophie, Katie and Momo Isabelle and maximus learnt so much it will be forever appreciated
