Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders plan and create a bespoke curriculum for children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff quickly identify when children may need additional support and work closely with parents and other agencies to put in place interventions to help them.

Outdoor space

When younger children fight over bean bags in an outdoor target game, older children collect the bean bags for staff as they talk to the children. Leaders recognise the need to extend the outdoor play opportunities they provide for children.

Busy Bears is an absolutely fantastic place to leave your little ones. Our little boy has been going to Busy Bears since he was very small, he's now 3 and I can safely say he has gained a huge advantage from the activities and development on offer in the setting. All the staff are extremely friendly and good at their jobs, the new technology being implemented to make it easier and more convenient to see how your child has spent their day is brilliant. I would not hesitate to recomend Busy Bears Nursery to anyone looking for somewhere to look after their little ones while they are at work or even for them to just gain some great experiences that are maybe not possible at home. Keep up the great work Bears, you make our lives as parents a lot easier!

My daughter started in the baby room last month and the staff have been fantastic! She is really enjoying her time at nursery. The nursery nurses and Head of Room are very approachable. I ring afew times during the day and my daughters special carer always talks me through what she has been up to. I would recommend Busy Bears!

Amazing staff, wonderful atmosphere, and simply brilliant interaction with parents. Busy bears matches what you want out of your nursery experience for your child; the staff will adapt to you. And your kid won't want to come home at night, they'll have so much fun. Oh, and most days, our little bear eats better than we do! The kitchen staff are simply amazing in what they conjure up! It can be a little expensive, but worth every penny. 6 stars.

I can't praise this nursery enough! I was so anxious about leaving my baby to return to work but the staff at Busy Bears have gone above and beyond to relieve my fears. My little one is extremely well cared for, I've never had grounds for any concerns whatsoever. Most of all she loves going to nursery, she's so happy to see her worker and when I collect her I can see her playing and having fun. If I could've given it 6 stars I would.

My daughter goes to this nursery and I couldn't be happier. The staff are excellent and it is obvious that they really know the children in their charge and care for their development.
