Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff at the nursery get to know children well, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They find out about children's individual needs and work closely with other professionals involved in their care. This helps staff to adapt the curriculum and their teaching to ensure children with SEND are included and well supported. The arrangements in place for supporting children with SEND are strong. Staff get to know children with SEND very well and have a secure knowledge of how best to support them. They implement individual learning plans which include targets set by outside agencies. Leaders monitor the progress of children closely and use additional funding wisely. This ensures that children with SEND make good progress and those at risk of falling behind receive the support they need in a timely manner.

Outdoor space

Younger children confidently navigate the climbing equipment while carrying an object in their arms. They show great strength and determination as they carefully complete the obstacle course. Children are keen to use the bicycles independently. They learn to push themselves forward, strengthening their leg muscles and balancing skills. This promotes children's overall good health and well-being.

I have nothing but positive comments about Cosy Corner. After viewing a few private nurseries in the Birkenhead area, nothing even come close to the professionalism of Cosy Corner. From the second we walked in we knew this was the place for our little girl. They provided daily/weekly/monthly updates of the children's progression through journals/ zoom calls so you are aware so you know exactly where your child is upto. Our little girl requires additional needs and this was picked up on very quickly and new learning goals identified and actioned All the staff are very professional on hand over and informative. I would not hesitate to recommend Cosy Corner to anyone who wants there child in a safe professional friendly environment
