How they support every child

SEND provision

The manager acts with integrity in using the funding the nursery receives and goes beyond this to provide personalised support to those children that need it the most.

Outdoor space

Children relish their time outside and demonstrate good physical dexterity as they balance on wooden beams and navigate obstacles as they ride balance bikes. Staff teach children to take appropriate risks and challenges as they play, building their confidence and self-esteem.
