Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children's needs, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are met well. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspectors about how they support children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Through experiences in the outdoor areas, children learn about taking risks in a safe environment, building their resilience and self-assurance. Two-year-old children delight in outdoor experiences, identifying insects in a storybook and then hunting for them in the garden. Older children develop their large-muscle skills and coordination in the forest school, navigating uneven terrains, climbing through trees, and playing on the swing.

Great to read this Nursery is moving to a more healthy, sustainable, sourced from less cruel conditions, environmentally favourable diet plan for it's kids. They're going to have even more energy :-o from this 'balanced' food type, including proteins, carbs, fats, nutrients and vitamins. Good work!

I won't be sending my children somewhere that refuses to give them a healthy balanced diet. My child has medically necessary diet restrictions and I can't believe this place would change their menu so drastically without parental concent. Offering multiple diet options is understandable, abstaining from healthy diet... is not.

I wish I lived closer to this nursery and had the opportunity to have my child attend, bringing my child up on a vegetarian diet I have been let down many times by her current nursery. It is refreshing knowing they have a plant based menu which is healthy and balanced.

So great to hear you are making all your menus vegan, such an admirable decision! I wish more nurseries would have the courage and sense to do the same. Keep up the good work!
