Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children, including those in receipt of additional funding or who have additional needs, make very good progress from their starting points in development on entry. Staff closely monitor children's development and swiftly identify any emerging concerns. They make timely referrals to other professionals, and put in place effective early intervention strategies to help children to catch up.

Outdoor space

Staff help children to develop good physical skills. Babies pull themselves to standing and toddlers use chunky brushes. They confidently climb to the top of the grass mound. Staff closely supervise children, for instance as they use climbing apparatus outdoors. This helps to promote their safety and welfare.

I dont know what they're doing, but its great. My son has a speech delay and will not communicate plus it's harder to get him to understand me. Hes been here not even 2 weeks yet and hes already communicating with me back and repeating my words. He can say colours very clearly. I am very proud, so happy with this nursery!
