Inclusion & environment
Children that need extra help receive highly focused support so they feel fully included and make exceptional progress. Those that need extra help communicating their needs have their own personalised photo cards and sign language.
The nursery garden has a vast selection of equipment that provides physical challenge for children. Toddlers learn how to take risks as they climb, and older children develop excellent coordination skills as they follow road signs and steer scooters and bikes around a track. Within the garden, a 'train spotters corner' enables children to watch and learn about passing trains.
Exceptional childcare with a great team. Everyone is really caring and approachable. The children have so much fun!
