Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The manager actively engages with other professionals, such as social workers and health visitors, to help close the gaps in learning for all children. Children who are vulnerable and/or disadvantaged are fully supported through the partnerships staff have with their families, carers and professionals from other agencies, such as social workers and food banks.

Outdoor space

Children are fascinated by a ladybird that they find outdoors. They cooperate and use negotiation skills as they take turns to hold it. Staff provide ample opportunity for all children to be physically active outdoors; for example, staff play a game with pre-school children where they learn to balance as they walk across planks.

A fantastic nursery. My son has attended both the toddler and pre-school room and has loved his time in both. The staff always plan activities around his interests and support him in anyway they can. No matter what time we collect him there is always a variety of activities available to play with. Staff have built a wonderful relationship with him and I feel that they truly care for his happiness and welfare. The meals provided are varied and nutritious and the nursery fees are by far the cheapest I’ve seen.
