Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

This includes ensuring that children who need extra help to catch up receive targeted support.

Outdoor space

Children confidently explain the rules when using the stairs to go back to their playroom from the garden. They reply: 'We do not push and shove and we hold onto the banister.' This demonstrates that children are learning about expected behaviours and how to keep themselves and their friends safe at nursery.

EAL / language support

For example, staff use signing and find out key words in home languages for children learning English as an additional language.

My daughter attends this beautiful nursery I have NOTHING but praise for this nursery as they are all so kind and helpful and not once have I felt that they have judged myself or my child. My daughter loves it to the point if she can not attend due to the weekend she will be in tears. All the staff are fantastic and I am so glad I chose this nursery in Horsham as I found it daunting as a first time mummy. She has been with Giggles for now a year.

A brilliant nursery, my son has been in the baby room since 12 months old and I couldn’t be happier with it. The staff are just wonderful and he absolutely loves going!
