Inspection #10234767 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50193435) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff who support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are experienced and effective, working closely with families to ensure children receive the right external support. Consequently, children with SEND are excellently supported, take a full part in activities, and staff are ambitious for them to achieve as highly as others. Staff swiftly identify any additional support children may need, enabling all children to make the best possible progress. Outdoor space Children use the natural and abundant materials, which include sliced wood in various sizes, plants and tyres, and herbs and water to collect, sort and combine with other materials. For example, in the outdoor classroom, children use balls as medicine to make their 'sisters better'. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning. ## Parent Reviews of Hugo and Holly Day Nursery 5.0 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKEcg6_RWT8ainzl1Rl3mZhAhKdh7YwmIp0GBPOlNwTK3__=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Roman Wrobel 6 years ago Lovely place with lovely people!
