Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress. Managers ensure that children receive any additional funding they are entitled to; however, they do not always consider how it can be used to better support individual children's learning needs.

Outdoor space

Children have lots of opportunities to play outdoors and exercise their large muscles. They enjoy the challenge of learning to balance, skip, climb and jump when taking part in an obstacle course.

An honest review Our experience with the nursery is polarising to say the least first of all my son has been unable to attend due to the nursery’s unforgiving and unreasonable policies more times than he’s been allowed to be present during these periods we have investigated the aforementioned policies and on multiple occasions found contradictions and ultimately false information for example their policy upon hand foot and mount forwards you to the nhs website and the related guidance upon exclusion periods which is stated as 0 days and no requirement for your child to not attend however once questioned about said inconsistencies we were told that the policies provided were not indicative of the true policies which in our opinion including that of a medical professional working within the nhs sounds like a smoke and mirror approach most recently his time within the nursery this week and the last has consisted in total of less than a full day we also regularly have been told that the nursery has been incompetent in its ability to safeguard my son against his milk protein allergy and was given another child’s bottle which has previously contained milk which obviously would result in an allergic reaction on multiple occasions similar events have occurred after their mistake they have subsequently refused his admission due to ‘flu like symptoms’ which obviously are irrefutably linked to the previously described incompetence furthering on from this he has been sent home for as I quote ‘not seeming like himself’ which despite scrupulous investigation of their policy does not appear as a mitigating factor to admission to the nursery he has also been subject to bruises and scratches not consistent with accidents or unavoidable scenarios overall i would say below administration the girls working here are kind hearted genuine people and do not deserve to be tarnished with the same brush as this poor excuse of a nursery however if you are thinking about admitting your child here you would do better to throw 500 pounds into the fire every month and mind him or her yourself as that’s about as much this nursery can provide you a blatant waste of your money and your child’s formative and educational time we are fortunate to be financially stable enough and have enough of a support structure for us to withstand the failings of the nursery however i fear for those who aren’t as fortunate and need nurseries to be able to effectively provide themselves with time to work and provide for their children i thought there would be a sense of community and support for the people that entrust what’s most important to them upon this facility however this sadly could not be further from the truth I hope this helps any parent avoid the facade this nursery is provided by it’s amazing carers and understanding how in inoperable and non-functioning it’s faculty and framework is thank you for you time
