Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Effective partnership with parents and other professionals helps to promote a consistent approach to children's learning and development. For example, the provider invites other professionals, such as speech and language therapists, to visit the nursery so that there is a targeted approach. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make steady progress from when they first start.

Outdoor space

Children benefit from fresh air and physical exercise. Children practise their physical skills as they climb steps and negotiate a sloped grassed area. Children wobble as they climb up a slope and giggle as they roll down. Children are consistently focused and eager to learn outdoors.

EAL / language support

Children who speak English as an additional language make steady progress from when they first start.

Ive referred several of my friends’ children to this nursery, and each of them has received the most exceptional, tailored care. What sets Amazing Grace Nursery apart is their unwavering dedication to meeting the individual needs of every child. Whether it’s children with special educational needs, those who are delayed in speech, or just children who are developing at their own pace, the staff provides attentive one-to-one care. Each child is not only nurtured but also observed and supported in a way that respects their unique journey. Communication is another pillar of excellence at this nursery. Parents receive regular, thoughtful feedback, ensuring they are always in the loop about their child’s progress and daily experiences. The staff have cultivated a warm and trusting relationship not only with the children but also with the parents, creating a true community feel. The culture at Amazing Grace is one of inclusivity and respect. They celebrate diversity and encourage a sense of belonging among all children. Additionally, they have integrated modern technology to keep parents updated throughout the day, which is a remarkable relief for working parents. You can expect to receive timely updates, photos, and notes that let you know exactly how their choldren are doing. In short, Amazing Grace Nursery stands as a beacon of compassionate childcare. They seamlessly blend attentive care, open communication, a nurturing culture, and tech-savvy updates into a truly outstanding environment for children to thrive. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Amazing Grace Nursery is truly exceptional! My son has been with Amazing Grace Nursery since he was a toddler, and now, at 10 years old, he still enjoys going there after school. This speaks volumes about the level of care and nurturing provided by the team. The staff are incredibly kind, friendly, and professional, always creating a welcoming and supportive environment for the children. A special thanks to Ms. Grace, Ms. Houda, and the friendly young lady who picks my son up from school (I can’t remember her name, but she’s fantastic!). You’ve all made such a positive impact on my son’s life. My niece also attends Amazing Grace Nursery, and she absolutely loves it too! Huge thanks to everyone at Amazing Grace Nursery for all that you do. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season – see you in the New Year! Anthonia ❤️

My daughter started going here recently. I was overwhelmed by the sheer layout of the nursery first of all. Big open planned, colorful environment. There is a section for every child interest, whether it is a reading corner, sensory corner, play corner, the list goes on... The staff are so welcoming and accomodating, I'm a nurse so my hours are all over the place but the manager, Grace was able to meet my needs perfectly. The staff are very caring and you can tell that they enjoy looking after the kids and are very well trained. I get regular updates on my kid and the lunch given is always so rich and varied. All in all .. it's not called Amazing Grace for nothing. It's truly amazing.

My son started amazing grace nursery 2 moths ago he is 2.5 and he was non verbal and I’m proud to say he is now talking every day he is saying new words I was sceptical of sending my son to nursery after I had a bad experience with his last nursery but I’m glad I went with it as it’s the best thing I have done for him by sends him to amazing grace he is so happy the stuff are great and supportive the place is clean and the manager is amazing. The day I went to view the nursery I felt it right away that my son would be taken care of it is like home away from home. The facilities are good beautiful garden and all the equipment for the little ones to learn and play I am excited for my daughter to join her brother soon. Thank you to the staff at amazing Grace
