Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported. Staff work closely with parents and other agencies to support children's progress and understand the needs of individual children. This ensures that children's needs are well planned for and that early help is identified, where necessary, to close the gaps in their development.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy their time at nursery and have fun as they become absorbed in the activities, indoors and outdoors. There are action plans in place to improve the outside areas even further, and the baby room has recently moved into the main building in order to create a covered outdoor area.

Both our children attended this nursery from being babies and we cannot speak highly enough of their care. The nursery staff are all really lovely, and it was rare that my either of my children didn't want to go! I would recommend based on the positive experience we have had!

Elmore Kindergarten is fantastic and I would highly recommend it to any parent. Me eldest daughter started three years ago and loves every second. Every member of staff goes above and beyond what is expected of them. They are all professional, friendly and approachable. It's clear to see that the children learn through play and the staff arrange a variety of activities to ensure this can take place in a safe and secure environment. The nursery is really flexible and as a family of shift workers, this has been a god send! Prices are extremely competitive too. Believe me, I have checked! Just signed my youngest daughter up too.
