How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive tailored support to promote their learning and development. Meetings between key workers, parents and outside professionals help children receive a concise and consistent approach to their ongoing learning. As a result, children with SEND make the best possible progress they are capable of.
Outdoor space
Staff organise the outdoor area so that it offers children seamless learning opportunities from the indoors. They extend children's learning by helping them build houses with various materials and promote understanding of size and measure while making 'porridge' in the mud kitchen.

The nursery is very good. Our daughter is going there for last two years and always smiley to go and she made good friends. We would recommend. Also plenty of parking so dropping and picking up is also easy. Tracey and the staffs are friendly. Additional kids clubs are also available.

My daughter moved here after her preschool closed with no notice. Owner and manager really flexible with extra days and sessions. All staff welcome every child, children really cared for and loads of activities out for them. Photos show amazing activities on their private page for updating parents. End of term report really highlighted how well they know my daughter. Garden has just been redone and looks amazing. I only wish I had found this nursery first and had her there longer.

Very horrible nursery, even the managers goes so far as to use rude, impolite words, and when a child cries you can hear ‘shut up’ coming out of the room, avoid it!
