Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress in their development and are ready for their next stage in learning. Children with SEND are supported well by staff through intervention groups, such as small-group times, to provide focused support for their needs.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy taking on challenges which helps to develop their resilience. For example, they build an obstacle course out of tyres and then persevere as they try and balance their way round.

EAL / language support

Children who speak English as an additional language make good progress in their language development. Staff develop children's vocabulary and model how to put words into sentences. They use words from children's home languages and technology to help break down any communication barriers.

Both my children attend Glenhurst, my youngest son has joined recently. My daughter joined early 2020 and has absolutely thrived! Friends recommended Glenhurst as their children enjoyed it and the staff were brilliant- both of which is true! I leave my children knowing they are taken care of but also knowing they have so much fun and interaction. Every session my daughter comes home and is full of beans, with little pictures she’s drawn, she’s developing so well and I’m sure my son will follow after. Strongly recommend!!

I could not rate Glenhurst enough. They look after our three year old and one year old with such care and devotion. The activities range widely and my kids just love it there!! Food is also always received well by my kids and healthy. During a very difficult year they put all the safety measures they could in place and always extremely quick off the mark on when new guidance was announced by the government with excellent comms. Thank you Glenhurst for being life savers this year!

My Daughter has attended Glenhurst Nursery and Pre-School for just over 2 years. She was only 9 months old when she stated and I was naturally worried about whether she would enjoy it and be well looked after. The staff were so welcoming and her key worker was brilliant, putting us at ease and my daughter absolutely loved it. 2 years on and I am so thankful we picked Glenhurst. My daughter is progressing really well and has made her own little mini group of friends. The communication to parents is brilliant and is done via the Famly App. This allows me to see updates throughout the day of her routine and what she has eaten and it also alerts me when information on her development and learning milestones is updated. The childcare professionals clearly take an interest in each and every child and think of innovative ways to teach the children new skills and social skills. The management team dealt with the Covid pandemic in a safe and appropriate way, making sure both the children and their staff were properly protected. This was very important to me as a key worker as I had no choice but to keep my daughter in childcare throughout. I would recommend Glenhurst to anyone.

As a doting grandma I have been so impressed with Glenhurst Nursery. They teach so many interesting things. My granddaughter is absolutely thriving and loves it. My grandson started in October and settled in really well. Thanks to all the staff you're all amazing.
