Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well and are making good progress. Regular meetings take place with staff, parents and other professionals to set individual targets, which are continually monitored and reviewed. Sufficient adaptions are made to daily routines to ensure that all children are involved and included.

Outdoor space

Children run around in the outdoor environment and carefully manoeuvre large buckets of water from one place to another. Older children pack away toys safely in the garden to prevent any dangers for the younger children.

Can't fault this nursery at all. They've accommodated to mine and my daughters nursery needs in so many ways. My daughter loves going here and her nursery staff are so pleasant. If you get chance to send your child here, please do! You won't regret it ☺️

Amazing nursery, I have sent all three of children there and they’ve all loved it and thrived during and afterwards. My youngest is still attending and loves his time spent there, always talks about spending time with the staff and is always happy when he gets in. I would highly recommend to anyone
