Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The manager and staff are clear about how they support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They make prompt referrals to agencies when necessary and successfully use additional funding to support each child's individual needs.

Outdoor space

Staff use the outdoor area well to support children's physical development. Children learn to move their bodies in different ways, developing their coordination as they busily construct or have fun rolling balls down guttering.

One of the best nursery. The entire staff, management is wonderful, professional and caring. Despite the fact nursey is big as compared to many other nursery, the quality of care, education (via play, IT, story time) is exceptional. My son at a age of 4 can read, write. When he at 3.6 joined the nursery he hardly talked. Since he has joined this he has developed very well overall. Special mention to Victoria, Tracey. Amazing Nursery. Well done Eaton Mill
