Inclusion & environment
The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) helps practitioners to identify and support any children with emerging needs. She works in partnership with parents and other professionals to ensure a consistent approach to support their development. As a result, all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), progress well.
Children enjoy lots of time outdoors to support their physical skills, core strength and well-being. They have regular access to the garden and forest school area and use a range of resources to help them to move in different ways.
Family tree nursery have looked after my son since he was 6 months old. He leaves them this year to start primary school. Each day he comes home happy, and well fed. The menu they offer is extensive with lots of healthy meals throughout the day. He has made some really lovely friends and he seems content and has learnt so much through them. His social skills- sharing, communication, and independence have soared since starting. He gets to be outdoors and physical daily (which he absolutely needs!) They also have lots of lovely additions including a music person, a sports coach and more recently a forest school session. We join in on sports days and at Christmas concerts. It has been a pleasure to work along side family tree staff- all of whom are pleasant. We also get a really thorough update when picking our son up- what he ate, what he played. He comes home with lots of creative achievements that he has made throughout the day. I would recommend this nursery to anybody. Thank you

Read on GoogleFamily Tree Day Nursery have had hands in catering to 3 of my children since 2018. My 2 dd’s both 5 and 4 were looked after by caring staff at the nursery from 9 and 7 months old until primary school age. Currently they accommodate my 10month old son. I cannot fault the nursery at all. They are extremely accommodating to both the children’s and parental needs, the focus on developing milestones throughout growth from baby, toddler to primary school age is commendable. I have happy children thanks to the cheerful environment and warm hearted staff at the Family Tree Nursery.
Read on GoogleFamily Tree is completely representative of its name, a great feeling of family as they care for my little one. My Son has attended since he was 18 months and is now in his final year before starting school and he has loved every minute! He is supported with his development, encouraged to learn and comes out with a smile on his face and that’s all we could ask for!
Read on GoogleMy daughter has been attending this nursery for 10months and her learning and development growth has been exponential. She is developing into a confident individual with strong communication and social skills and I credit much of this to the great work of this nursery. Her nutrition is bolstered by the exceptionally well balanced diet offered by the nursery and she enjoys a wide variety of play and crafts. I strongly recommend Family Tree Day Nursery Sidcup to parents looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their LOs.
