Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff work effectively with other professionals to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. This ensures all children receive necessary help to close learning gaps and make good progress. Key staff responsible for children with additional needs receive specialised training and guidance from other professionals, which positively impacts children's welfare and progress.

Outdoor space

Children spend lots of time in the garden area where staff plan a range of activities to build on what children know and can do. They have many opportunities to develop their large muscles through activities like running, riding wheeled toys, climbing, sliding, and balancing on tyres, and engage in imaginative play in the mud kitchen.

My daughter went to this nursery as a child. Staff have always been supportive and friendly, it must be good as she chose to undertake her college placement here.College have checked regularly that education is maintained both to children and students. At one point outside caterers were bought in and everything that was not eaten was thrown out, however this had changed to children bringing in their own lunch. Any staff that work in the nursery undertakes CPD training which consists of various topics including food hygiene, SEND, health and Safety, first aid etc. the child’s development is paramount and all staff will assist with this. Ofsted check the facility and have provided a good rating. Would certainly recommend this facility

When we relocated to the UK from Pakistan with our 3-year-old son and 1.5-year-old daughter, it was challenging for the kids to adjust to the new environment. With both my wife and I working, we enrolled our children in Bouncing Bears Day Care. I cannot express how grateful we are for the support we received in helping our kids settle down. A big thank you to Bouncing Bears, especially Debbie, Emily, Jade, and others. Over the past year, they have provided us with exceptional support and maintained detailed journals of our kids, monitoring their development and identifying areas for improvement. I wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing educational environment for their children.
