Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) is confident in her role. They are able to work with other professionals to source the appropriate support for children. This ensures that all children's needs are met.

Outdoor space

The children have time to play, both inside and outside. They are encouraged to run and move outside. They also brought their dragon mask outside, chasing each other, while other children played with drums, just as they had seen in a story. Opportunities such as these support their physical development.

In Jolly Time Nursery every child is treated with love and care. The staff always treat the child as their own. Both of my girls went in Jolly Time Nursery. When they finished at Jolly Time they both know how to read and write the 3 letter words, their full name and the numbers up till 20. I had the best experience in that nursery and I will recommend to all the parents. The staff and the Manager are always present to support you and your child. Thank you to all the staff and the manager who they really supported my girls learning and development since they were 6 months old until they went to school. Thanks a lot to all of you for all of your support.
