Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit from carefully thought-out plans and strategies to help close any gaps in their learning. Staff act quickly to seek additional funding, where needed, and work closely with other professionals. Children with SEND enjoy well- planned, small-group or individual time with staff, which helps support their language and social skills.

Outdoor space

Children learn useful skills that help prepare them for their future learning. They find their own boots when they want to play outside.

Caring and compassionate nursery. Staff go above and beyond to give children positive experiences and get to know the children they work with. Staff work together with parents and are open to hearing parents views. We feel our child's learning has been supported and have seen him make progress whilst at Cherry Tree. Our child has a wonderful time at nursery and we feel confident sending him in knowing he is in their care.

This is the worst nursery imaginable. The kids aren't looked after at all. The staff are also very rude to each other. If you're a parent, stay away from this place. If you're a contract worker, make sure you tell your agency that this is one place to avoid! This place needs to be shut down.
