Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Excellent support is in place from external agencies. Leaders act swiftly to target the support children need. Gaps in children's learning are identified with precision, and leaders ensure that parents are fully involved. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress.

Outdoor space

Children explore confidently within the indoor and outdoor areas. For example, babies develop their physical skills as they explore the outdoor environment. They show confidence as they crawl, cruise and stand, building their muscle strength.

Could not speak more highly of the staff, management and nursury in general. My 2 year old daughter had hip dysplacia and they accomadated to her every need. She has also recently been diagnosed with celiac disease and requires a gluten free diet. The staff have gone above and beyond to help her requirements and she enjoys attending the nursury, describing the staff as her friends and always come home telling us about her day. Quite simply, we have peace of mind that our daughter is in expert hands whilst my wife and I work full time.
