Staff are passionate about their roles in supporting children with SEND. They raise any concerns about children's development promptly with the relevant professionals and support parents with referral forms effectively to ensure that children receive additional support and funding in a timely manner. They use additional funding the nursery receives very effectively. This helps children with SEND to make excellent progress. Outdoor space Children delight in being outdoors. They search for insects and use flowers and natural resources to make 'soup' in the kitchen. Children are physically confident and move, balance and climb with increasing control. Younger children go on walks into the local area and benefit from daily fresh air. ## Parent Reviews of Bright Sparks Childcare (Yorkshire) 5.0 (4) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjVy3nhZMH4xNlP5a672GIgO8cCC6iinFsHCbazAmzBbomgNBb6qEA=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba6) chris bourner 11 months ago Excellent, very friendly and helpful staff 👍 👏 👌 [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tkWlZVZFdPVkV3WkdVelZrMHdORjlIV0RkamJsRRAB!2m1!1s0x48796b26fd635c7f:0xc01614f22a630d5a) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjWYuzKcjLT8iI1B7lECXtMZMoD_mCOcwfgpm2iZMLxLsg1mwCdj=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) james glover 5 years ago My kids love it and always come home telling me something new they've learnt, thank you to all the team.
