How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff assess what children know and can do, and identify any potential gaps in children's development, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff share this information with one another, and parents and carers, to offer a consistent approach to supporting children's learning.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy being physically active. Staff help children make their own decisions and develop a positive attitude towards managing risks in their play. Indoors, children in the baby room access equipment to challenge their balance, spacial awareness, and coordination.

My son has been attending this nursery for a year and half now and absolutely loves it. He has such a great time and is always happy to go. The staff are amazing, very caring and interested in each child. I have been made aware of everything necessary and everyone there is lovely and trustworthy. I wouldn't want him to be anywhere else. Can't recommend enough!
