Catering to children aged 2 to 4 years, the setting operates Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 17:00, with a capacity for 20 children. The nursery embraces the EYFS curriculum approach and prides itself on its secure and inclusive practice for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), supported by targeted staff training and environmental adaptations. Staff use initial meetings to gather comprehensive information to meet the diverse needs of all children. Daily outdoor play supports physical development, and parents appreciate the strong partnerships formed with the nursery. The setting cultivates a culture of kindness, care, and respect, fostering independence and positive self-esteem in children, though the consistency of curriculum delivery is an area identified for improvement to further reinforce learning and development.
