Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and staff have high aspirations for children, including those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff make excellent use of additional strategies to support children with SEND when they identify gaps in their speech, language and communication, resulting in children being confident communicators.

Outdoor space

Babies start their morning routine outside in the garden and older children are eager to explore the exciting learning environment staff have planned for them. When outdoors, children are supported to navigate ramps and balance beams to help them develop their spatial awareness and balance as part of purposeful opportunities for children to be physically active.

Our little one couldn’t be any happier here. She is learning so much and the staff are always keen to express how well she is doing and she always looks forward to it. The nursery has dealt well with the early years staffing crisis so far and I hope that continues. I love that they rotate themes for learning and encourage home learning too for any areas that may be of benefit.

My little girl has just started here. Staff are excellent! When you first visit it feels like you're simply visiting a happy family home not just a nursery. Website (parent login) is updated throughout the day to see how your child is doing. Ticks every box including cleanliness, friendliness, welfare, security and more.
