SEND provision

Staff work effectively together to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They quickly identify any child who may need additional support and are persistent in engaging with specialist professionals and supporting parents, ensuring children benefit from targeted support.

Outdoor space

The owner ensures that children enjoy spending long periods in the well-resourced outdoor area, where they have opportunities to be creative and take charge.

Both my children have attended Charlotte's Web since they turned 2, right up till they left for school. My youngest is still there and my son has just left to start reception. I have nothing but praise for all the wonderful team! My children are very confident , happy and love going there. Every month they have a new learning theme, and do so many arts and craft activities. I really like the fact they have a proper outdoor area so the children are able to spend lots of time outdoors. Last year they held a sports day for the children at the local park, and they also put on fantastic Christmas parties for the children. I highly recommend Charlotte's Web - so glad we found it!

Couldn’t be happier after choosing Charlottes web for my 2 year old. He settled within a week and absolutely adores his key worker, he rushes to the door every morning! They feed him great food and keep me updated on his progress, can’t say a bad word. Thank you to all the staff

I genuinely couldn't rate Charlotte's Web any less than 5*. All staff here are friendly, caring and provide a fantastic early years education. Both of my children went here, and they massively thrived almost immediately whilst in their care. When my children left to go to school, I cried. I cried because they have given such an immense impact on not only my children's lives, but mine, too. And for that, I say thank you to you all. Keep up the amazing work you all do, you're all fantastic human beings xx
