Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Regular monitoring of children's progress enables staff to quickly identify any children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Targeted interventions are then devised and referrals made, if necessary, to help children to catch up with their peers.

Outdoor space

Outside play is a prominent part of the daily routine for all children. Staff enable children to access a wide range of activities and resources during outdoor play, which enables children to thrive. For example, children play imaginatively with the mud kitchen and show an awareness of space as they manoeuvre around objects when riding bikes.

This nursery helped my eldest develop so much, she gained so much confidence here and the staff always treated her like their own! She started at 2.5 years and stayed until she was 4.5. She's in school now but still always talks about how she misses her nursery teachers. My youngest is now starting with this nursery and so the cycle repeats again Alhamdulillah. I'm so happy to be able to have my children grow and develop in their early years in an Islamic environment which is like a home away from home ❤️ may Allah Swt reward all through staff for their efforts Ameen 🤲🏼

Tried to book a visit on the phone, the lady didn’t book it, tried to ask an application form, didn’t get, told apply online…. Then she said somebody will bring it out to the gate, coz I was there as a rude attitude girl was telling anytime can go visit, so went there and was waiting 20 mins outside after I phoned them but nobody turn up. Met with a stuff who was kinda rude told she won’t go back to let them her colleague I was waiting, so told, phone Andrea. Sorry but ur “Islamic”values shouldn’t be like this…shame as a general nursery gives more respect and attention to the parents and children then ur starring nursery. I’m not titled to free nursery places and just can just thank to Allah didn’t get involved to pay money to this nursery. Was also interested to Madrasha school as well but not sure anymore.
