Inspection #10236758 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50201790) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > they provide parents with advice and constructive support to help meet their family's needs. Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children who receive additional funding, such as pupil premium, benefit from purposefully bought resources, such as 'emotion cards' that help children to discuss their feelings. Staff confidently identify children at risk of falling behind in their learning, and they engage in close partnerships with outside agencies, such as speech and language therapists, to share observations. This early intervention means children's needs are quickly met and barriers in learning are overcome. Outdoor space Older children benefit from a free-flow environment. They make independent choices as to where they want to play. When children prefer to participate in activities indoors, their views are accounted for, and staff explore other ways to promote their physical development. Effective risk assessments ensure that children can play safely indoors and outdoors. ## Parent Reviews of Happy Days Nursery 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocL4YASODYnFo4h7wxTxWTLgVE6M43S6EyYXSUgYMgnL6UDUW9U=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) G0001 5 years ago Best nursery ever!
