Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is good. The deputy manager, together with SEND leads in each room, work effectively with parents and other professionals to ensure children receive targeted support and make the best possible progress in their development.

Outdoor space

My son started going to Little Green Man Nursery a little over a month ago, and all the members of the staff worked very hard to help him settle. They also are very sensitive to each child’s personality which is something every parent wants when they are away from their child. I would highly recommend this nursery to all those looking for a friendly environment. We're regularly updated on how he is doing and about the different things that he takes part in at the nursery. We feel he has already made heaps of progress due to the commitment of the staff.

I have PTSD being in Leystone because of how terrible this nursery was. Absolutely terrible and the mangers are mix up!

My youngest went here for a couple of years and always had a great time. He got on well with all the staff and really enjoyed all the great toys and the time learning about different people, countries and religions. He still talks about the things that they got up to and the staff and other children there that he met.
