Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff spoke to the inspector about how they support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff are supported through training and qualifications to equip them with the skills to support all children.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy playing outside during the day and staff take them on outings to local parks. The setting provides varied opportunities for physical development (for example, climbing wall and slide), but children are not yet able to explore the natural world to learn about ecological diversity.

My daughter has been attending the nursery full time, since it opened. The staff are amazing, the quality of care is very high and there is no where else I’d rather my child be. There is an onsite chef who provides a variety of delicious nutritional food to all the children taking into account their dietary needs. The staff build relationships with all the children across the rooms and provide an environment where they can learn, be safe and have fun. We adore Alpha!

Absolutely exceptional. My little boy has been going to Alpha since it opened and I could not fault them. Each member of staff have demonstrated care and compassion towards all of the children. The regular updates throughout the day are really reassuring and demonstrate the wide variety of activities they get up to each day. Would 10/10 recommend.
