I could not have chosen a better place for my child

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support in place for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is excellent. Intervention plans are monitored with precision, and links with external professionals are robust. Gaps in learning close quickly and children with SEND make good progress.

Outdoor space

Staff provide children with good opportunities to be physically active. Toddlers enjoy climbing and balancing outdoors. Older children learn how to use a slide, and babies pull themselves up on to low-level apparatus.

Simply the best nursery in the area, without a doubt. They go above and beyond all the time, catering to allergies and neurodiversities but also in making the mundane special. My 2 have flourished at Georgies Porgies and I recommend the nursery to everyone.

I have four children and my daughter has attended Georgie Porgies from 6 months old - she is nearly 5 and due to leave at the end of August 2017. In all the nurseries my children have attended over the years this without doubt is the best. The staff / management / owners couldn't be a better team. She has progressed well and more importantly has been very happy. I couldn't rate it high enough. From baby room through to pre-school each member of staff has made it a joy for her to attend and as a parent an enjoyable experience knowing she has been well looked after. Thank you so much x
