Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Leaders are aware of the impact on children's language development following the pandemic. They have attended purposeful training that will enable them to quickly identify children who require additional support. Subsequently, staff are able to implement strategies and initiatives to help close gaps in children's development.
Outdoor space
Children thoroughly enjoy being outdoors. They eagerly play in the 'mud kitchen' where they use herbs to enhance their dough and play with dinosaurs in the 'swamp' as they transport water along long pipes.

Amazing nursery, had to change my daughter to here because her old nursery closed down and I was extremely worried about her settling in because she has some additional needs… To my surprise she has settled into the environment smoothly because the atmosphere is perfect and the nursery teachers are attentive. Very spacious and an amazing outdoor play area. I have received daily photos of her settling in and she looks like she is enjoying it so much. Definitely an excellent facility to send your little ones, thank you!

Fantastic nursery and Outstanding staff! It’s so important as a parent to feel like your children are well cared for and safe while being away from them and this nursery has always made me and my children feel this way. I can not fault the nursery in anyway. They always go above and beyond each member of the team. Thankyou to care chiefs for providing an excellent and professional service all throughout the year.

Fantastic staff, who are relaxed and warm, and great activities (lots of messy play!) for the children. The Nursery has made the most of their back yard by turning it into something like a tiny wooden village. I feel my child can really enjoy just being a kid here, before the onslaught of school.
