Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Children independently recognise when friends, some who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), need support or some extra time to learn something new. Children with SEND receive superb support. With the support of the special educational needs coordinators, staff are particularly effective at identifying and supporting children with SEND. They expertly use their knowledge of each child to put personalised strategies in place. This ensures children get the specific support they need. In addition, staff work in collaboration with a wide range of other professionals. Children with SEND, as well as those from families in challenging situations, blossom and succeed alongside their friends.

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.

Our child has been attending since he was 2, starting in Starlight room. He's almost 4 now. The staff here are fab and very welcoming. Managment are exceptional and go above and beyond! My little boy struggles with transitions and changes and they've been great at supporting him and keeping us updated. I've always worked in childcare as a Nanny, TA and within nursery settings and I feel safe and confident sending my lo to this nursery!

As a neighbour, the staff have no respect , I have heard them encouraging kids to scream at 8am , Considering the nursery is surrounded by houses I would of thought they'd at least try be respectful as some people work night shifts
