Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Outdoor space

Children enjoy learning both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors, babies and toddlers stand together at the water tray and blow bubbles. There is room to run around and climb, along with places to dig and explore. Staff recognise that not all children have outdoor play spaces at home, so they plan for children to spend time outside every day.

Such a wonderful nursery with the most caring staff! My daughter absolutely loves going, and I’ve seen her grow and learn so much since she started here. I’d 100% recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect place for their little one.

Our son started attending here in September and he has settled so well! The staff are amazing, so friendly and caring and have all the time in the world to give you a handover at pick up! The nursery is cosy and lot's of lovely activities for them to engage in. The management are brilliant and reply straight away to emails, and are so flexible with our requests. We feel like we've found an absolute gem of a nursery. Our son comes home so happy and that says so much. Thanks Clarence House 🙂

Clarence House is a brilliant nursery. Would definitely recommend visiting and having a look around. Staff are super friendly and informative. Manager is very efficient and will do anything to help. My little boy has been really happy since starting at Clarence House and really enjoying making new friends. He’s really struggled socialising and the team have been fantastic in helping him grow. Definitely a safe and fun environment. Keep up the good work team.
