Inclusion & environment
Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is good. Staff learn how to support children with specialist equipment through discussions with parents and other professionals. Staff make time in their day to work with children on a one-to-one basis where required.
Children are reminded to ask a member of staff before returning indoors from the garden to keep themselves safe.
My daughter absolutely loves coming to nursery! She took a few weeks to settle into leaving me, but with the flexibility and support of staff we got there and now she doesn't look back. It's a second home for her. Staff are lovely and the activities are fun and well thought out. The manager Nicola is approachable, friendly and highly effective. My daughter's allergies are managed without error and the menu is healthy and varied. I really appreciate everyone who works here and the safe, happy environment they have created.

Read on GoogleWe dropped our little girl at Loughton bright horizons for an emergency childcare day and could not have been more pleased. We were nervous to leave her in a new setting but the staff in the baby room went above and beyond to settle her in and keep me updated about her progress. I could not recommend more!
