Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well. All staff attend specialised training and planning is particularly effective at supporting children. For example, all staff have completed sign language training to aid their communication with children who require extra assistance to develop their listening and attention skills.

Outdoor space

Children have regular opportunities to exercise and be active outdoors. They can access different opportunities for climbing, balancing and building, such as a range of movable climbing and construction materials in the garden. Children delight in running up and over the grass hills, while toddlers push themselves along on ride-on toys.

Bojangles is truly a wonderful place for children. The staff at the nursery is always friendly and extremely helpful. I have never had a communication issue, my emails have always been responded to promptly, the internal communication system also works really well providing us as parents with useful information, updates on our little ones in regards to their progress and daily activities they have taken part in. The staff really listens to us as parents and is very considerate to our children's needs. The nursery has a wonderful outdoor play area as well. I can only recommend.

I feel so lucky that my little girl goes to this nursery. I can't recommend it enough and I tell anyone who asks to send their children here. She spends time outside and in nature , is nurtured and well cared for by the staff and has really developed in her confidence since attending. I could not leave her if I did not feel 100% comfortable with the environment and level of care provided by anyone - I don't even leave her with friends but am comfortable with her doing two long days here! The staff have also helped me as I have felt really supported in moments where I have struggled to leave her. When I pick her up she is happy and smiling as she's had a lovely day . She has formed lovely bonds with the staff and I really feel as though her they have made an effort to get to know her as an individual - rather than in some nurseries where the children are treated as another number. She is now way more open to trying different foods at home and has expanded her diet massively since attending. Her confidence with other children has definitely increased - she will now play and interact more with other children when we were out and about. If you're on the fence about sending your children to nursery, or struggling to make that next step in their development, then this is definitely the place for you :) a big thank you to all the staff at Bojangles if you're reading this x

My children have been going to Bojangles for years. I would not want to send them anywhere else. For anyone who is looking for a nursery I couldn’t recommend Bojangles enough.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring, which made settling in so much easier for both our child and us as parents. The environment is always clean, safe, and thoughtfully set up with a wide range of engaging activities that support learning through play. It’s clear that a lot of effort goes into planning each day, and we love seeing how much our child is developing socially, emotionally, and creatively. The communication from the team has been excellent. We’re always kept up to date with our child’s progress, daily activities, and any important information, which gives us real peace of mind. Most importantly, our child is happy, confident, and excited to go in each day. We’re so grateful to the whole team for the care, dedication, and positivity they bring. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

As a grandparent, it’s incredibly reassuring to see just how well our grandson has been cared for at Bojangles Day Nursery. He has been attending for around 18 months, and from the very beginning the staff have been kind, patient and genuinely attentive to his individual needs. I pick him up everyday so feel I see as much as his mum and Dad! They understand how worrying it can be to leave your child in someone else’s care, and they do everything they can to help children (and parents) feel safe and settled.The nursery provides a warm, nurturing environment where children are encouraged to learn through play. The activities are engaging and age‑appropriate, and it’s lovely to see how much confidence and happiness he has gained since starting. The food provided is excellent, clearly nutritious and well planned, which gives real peace of mind.Communication with families is strong, and it’s obvious that the team truly cares about each child’s wellbeing and development. As grandparents, we feel completely confident that he is safe, cared for and thriving at Bojangles. We would very happily recommend the nursery to any new parent looking for high‑quality, caring childcare.
