Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with gaps in their learning benefit from support in the nursery, and staff work alongside other professionals to promote continuity while they wait for further assessments.

Outdoor space

Children are encouraged to take part in physical play each day and have access to fresh drinking water. Staff regularly take children on walks out of the setting, but have not yet linked these experiences to the curriculum to help children learn about the wider world and other cultures.

We absolutely love Agility Tots. From day one, it’s felt like an extension of our family - full of warmth, support, and genuine care. The staff are incredible, and the leadership is clearly strong and consistent. There’s a real sense of purpose and joy in everything they do, from group time songs to focused activities, yoga sessions, and even helping the children grow vegetables in the garden. Our son is thriving here. He’s happy, confident, and excited to go in each day. He talks about his projects, his friends, and the fun he’s had building, drumming, and exploring. We’ve seen real growth in his independence, social confidence, and learning, all thanks to the nurturing and thoughtful environment the team has created. We couldn’t be more grateful to have found such a special place.

My wife and I often discuss how moving our children to Agility Tots was one of the best decisions we ever made. The staff are fantastic, both of our children absolutely love everyone there. Emma does an incredible job managing the nursery and keeping us constantly engaged. The staff are absolutely lovely and our kids love them all. We get a constant feed of pictures and updates throughout the days from all members of staff on all of the amazing activities and play our kids get up to. The kids are always so excited to go to nursery and have made so many friends, all of the parents are friendly and welcoming. They have had access to equipment they wouldn’t usually get access to, which has significantly improved their gross motor skills. I always recommend Agility Tots as an outstanding nursery!

My son has been attending agility tots for a couple of months now and he has a great time when he’s there! The staff are all very warm and friendly, they’ve made us feel very welcome. There are always lots of fun activities, it’s a lovely setting and we honestly have no complaints! I feel confident leaving him in their safe hands and am grateful that they all take such good care of him.

Emma, Cerys and the rest of the lovely team are amazing with my little girl. The communication between Nursey and parent throughout the day and onwards is very effective and I’ve never had any doubt she’s safe and happy at the nursery. Monthly development checks to ensure she’s getting exactly what she needs to progress. 10/10 would recommend !

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Agility Tots. From the moment our son joined, we felt confident that he was in safe, caring, and capable hands. Emma, the head of the nursery, is truly amazing and incredibly dedicated. She leads a fantastic team who are all friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. The variety of activities is impressive. There's a great selection of toys and soft-play equipment, and the new facilities are bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed for little ones. Communication with parents is excellent – we're always kept informed and feel part of our child's day, which is so reassuring. Accidents are very rare, and we've always felt our son is well looked after in a safe and nurturing environment. We're so grateful to have found such a brilliant nursery - we can't recommend it highly enough!
