Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator ensures that when concerns arise, staff make swift interventions to provide children with the help which they need and make referrals to external agencies if required.

Our daughter has been at Fennies for 4 months now, and she absolutely adores being at nursery. The staff are all very friendly, especially everyone in the Explorers room, where my daughter settled in very quickly. We love all the updates we receive and we can tell that the children are provided with a lot of care and attention within the nursery.

Fantastic team and building set up. All the staff are outstanding and so caring towards my little one, she's so happy and excited every time we just pull into the car park, she goes off without a care in the world on drop off which is exactly what I wanted. The foods looks and sounds great and communication during the day is the really good. Thank you to the whole team we really appreciate you all

My child has been attending Fennies for just over 2 years and in that time has come on in leaps and bounds with his speech and learning. Fennies are very caring towards the children and my son tells me regularly how much he likes his key worker and other staff in his room. Although it took my son some time to settle in he is now always excited to go to nursery and hurries me out of the door to get him there as fast as possible. Any issues we have had in the past have been addressed and dealt with really well by the management team who I cannot recommend highly enough.

Fennies Nursery is truly a wonderful environment for children to learn and be nurtured. The nursery staff has been like a second family to my sweet grandson. The key worked system works very well and I have always felt well informed of my grandchild’s development, any challenges and well supported should there be something to work through that I have noticed at home. The care, love and encouragement the children receive to explore and develop at the nursery are fantastic- the range of activities the children are involved in is excellent. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Blyth Road Fennies Nursery. It’s a superb, warm and nurturing environment where my little grandson has flourished. I am hugely grateful for the support care and efforts all the nursery staff, chef, caretaker and management go to in order to ensure my grandchild have a wonderful nursery experience. A special thank you to Rose, Ellie and Kerry.

Excellent nursery with incredible staff. Our son has been going to the nursery for over a year and service has been consistent, communication is great, but most importantly, Joe looks forward to going to nursery, talks about his teachers at home all the time, and has clearly learned table manners, social skills and tons of new words at nursery. We are very happy to have chosen Fennies Blyth Road!
