Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Managers develop good practice to ensure that staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) effectively. The manager promptly seeks advice and support from professionals and provides guidance to staff, such as inclusion plans. Children with SEND make good progress from their starting points.

Outdoor space

Children choose from a range of challenging and interesting activities, both indoors and outdoors. Some children have had less opportunity to develop their physical skills due to restricted access to outdoor space during COVID-19. The manager uses funding to purchase equipment to promote children's physical development, such as bicycles, and staff take children on regular outings in the local area.

My child loves her time at Crosslands nursery. With help from the incredible team, she has blossomed. I never worry about her, and know that she is safe and looked after while shes there. I cannot thank Kelly & Charlotte enough, their ability to be both professional and personable is incredible- im so grateful to them.

Both of my children went to Crosslands nursery and they had the most amazing time there. The staff are very friendly and they create the most loving and warm atmosphere there. I felt safe in the knowledge knowing that when I dropped the children off they were being looked after by staff that were and happy and loved being around children. They were so flexible when my hours at work changed and really helpful and supportive. Truly a lovely environment with happy children. Well done to all the staff for all the hard work they put into making our children save and happy.

Today was the last day of our Son at Crossland's, quite emotional. He has been to a few nursery but Crossland's have by far been the best. Amber who manages the nursery is Excellent, very professional and friendly. All the teachers are very good, our Son started speaking after going to Crossland’s. They are smaller in size so the attention to each child is more, after nursery hours they spend at least 5 minutes explaining his activities at nursery. He has rarely fell sick and his diet has improved since having their lunches. All in all can’t express enough our gratitude for Crossland’s.
