How they support every child

SEND provision

Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is excellent. The manager is proactive in following the appropriate procedures to obtain specialist support, and staff follow the plans devised for children as a result of this. Staff also create plans to help younger children when they identify a need that may require specialist support later.

Outdoor space

When hunting for bugs in the outside area, staff talk to children about the bugs they may find. Inspectors observed activities in both of the rooms and outside throughout the inspection.

One of the best settings I’ve seen! My son has been attending this nursery for a while now and would be leaving in the summer of for school. I am actually dreading him leave. He’s bonded so well with staff members. After looking endlessly for a suitable nursery for him. As soon as I called in to this nursery I spoke to the manager throughout the whole transition of him settling in. My son has changed from a very Very clingy 3 year old to a very mature happy boy, we seen so many positive changes to his behaviour and personality within weeks of him attending. Nursery helped me from potty training to training him to being a kind loving little boy. My little boy absolutely loves this nursery, friends and teachers. I honestly never thought il see the day where my son would enjoy being comfortable at any other place other then home with me. There is never a child ever crying in this setting at the doors in the morning or leaving. Amazing staff and a very well organised setting. Thank you so much.
