Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The manager and staff work closely with parents to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Targeted plans are put in place to promote children's individual needs. For example, staff show children pictures of different facial expressions to help them to understand how they are feeling.

Outdoor space

Pre-school children behave well and work as a team to transport water into a bucket and to pour it down a small hill in the garden. Toddlers show their imagination when they use pots and pans in a play kitchen outdoors, pretending to make soup.

An amazing nursery in a beautiful setting. The staff create a nurturing atmosphere which encourages little ones to develop their independence. They really take the time to get to know each little person and make each child feel valued. Communication is flawless, you couldn't ask for more clarity. The food always sounds amazing too.

Didn't use the nursery as such however had to use the car park for a few days due to an issue with my van. The most friendly, accommodating staff you will find. I'm sure they make amazing child minders!
