Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those on the pathway to diagnosis, make good progress in their learning and development. Children with SEND and those on the pathway to diagnosis are supported by caring and knowledgeable staff. Effective partnership working with parents and other professionals means that children receive targeted support where they need it the most. Funding is used well to meet all children's individual needs.
Outdoor space
Children have lots of space to explore outdoors. Children manage simple risks in their play, for instance, toddlers come down the slide on their belly with staff close by to supervise their movements. They run around and kick footballs. Toddlers become explorers as they search for bugs using their magnifying glasses. All children have access to daily fresh air and opportunities to increase their physical skills and abilities.

We absolutely love this nursery. The staff are wonderful and management know the name of every single child. There is someone on the desk every morning and evening to deal with any problems (not that we've had any) and you can easily contact anyone via the phone or app. If you're thinking of sending your child to this nursery then you should.

I had high hopes for this nursery based on its location and appearance but our experience was disappointed. Communication was poor from the start. They barely inform on my child's day.( Naps ,meals activity) Unless I asked directly. Even then the responses were vague and unhelpful . I didnt have the chance to have a conversation with the manager ,if they have one 😐

Lovely nursery Do not know what the person previously reviewing is talking about re no manager- you can literally talk to them every day on the reception desk…… Our sons speech has come on so much since we started at this nursery and my only regret is I couldn’t afford to send him here sooner
