Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

This helps children, including those in need of additional support, to learn how their behaviour can affect others and the behaviours that are expected of them. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, gain the knowledge and understanding they need to prepare them for their next stages in learning and the eventual move on to school.

Outdoor space

Toddlers have lots of fun in the outdoor area, sharing bicycles and developing skills to balance and climb. Pre-school children work together to set up activities in the outdoor space, using problem-solving skills to make ramps for balls.

I just want to say how happy and grateful I am to see my son Kendrick so excited and comfortable at nursery. It means so much to me as a parent to know he’s in a safe, caring, and supportive environment where he can learn, play, and grow. Thank you to all the staff for the amazing work you do every day – it truly makes a difference.

My son started at the end of December and he could not be happier. He started with 11 months and now with a year and a half he comes in by his own feet, smiling and laughing just with the expectation of the day. Could I ask for something else? They are committed and professionals and they have proceed as instructed for his meals, which was our unique requirement. Manage to make him sleep, something that we could not manage without being breastfeed. He is learning super fast, and they encourage him to progress in the right direction. Super happy!

My little boy is only on his 2nd day and he has settled in well. I was super anxious about going back to work but it just is so lovely when you get sent photos on the app to see how your littles one’s getting on ☺️ thanks girls in the baby room! X
