"Parents speak highly about how settled children are in the nursery. They appreciate flexible settling-in sessions that are tailored to individual family needs."

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The staff team has expert experience in supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They work with medical teams to ensure that children have access to tailored support plans. As a result, children make good progress.

Outdoor space

Children use their imaginations to become builders in the garden, stacking blocks and using tools with growing skill. Children learn how to manage risks when riding a bicycle or balancing on beams. They squeal when on the swings, asking staff to "push me higher."

I can not rate this nursery highly enough. It is a brilliant environment for your children. The garden which they possess is particularly nice, well kept, and spacious. Sarah and all of the staff have always been brilliant (our son was particularly fond of Nikki). A lot of the staff have been there for a good number of years, my daughter attended previously, and she is now in secondary school. Some of the friendly faces I remember from her time there. They have a good level of security at the entrance, so I always felt safe leaving my kids there. All in all, this is an exceptional nursery.
