Inclusion & environment
Staff deliver a well-sequenced curriculum that takes into account children's individual needs and interests, which enables children to gain the key skills they need for future learning. The setting places a high importance on supporting all children to develop their self-regulation skills. Staff are tuned in to children's emotional needs, and they encourage children to openly discuss how they are feeling.
Staff provide good opportunities for children to develop their physical skills in the outdoor area. Older children practise balancing on beams, climbing on the play pirate ship and building by using large equipment, while younger children practise walking and use equipment to pull themselves up to a standing position.
Great nursery! The team at Clifton Tots St. Pauls is amazing. The manager, Irene, will always go the extra mile to accommodate any requests. She has an international team and they introduce different languages very early on. The little ones learn numbers and singing in the early days at preschool. Our little one was very happy there.
Read on GoogleIt is a great nursery with an excellent atmosphere. Convenient, comfortable cozy, and child-friendly. The staff are very well trained because the children can learn a foreign language in their early years. I trust them and that is important nowadays.
Read on GoogleWe can’t recommend Clifton Tots (on Richmond Hill) more highly. When we moved out of the area, one of our biggest regrets was taking our son out of pre-school. The staff there are really professional and obviously care about the children. Our son was used to being at home and was initially upset when we dropped him off, but they invested a lot of time and effort in making him (and us) feel safe and happy. We will miss them.
