Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff provide one-to-one support for children with potential special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) as often as possible, despite there being no funding allowance yet. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities attend the setting.

Outdoor space

Children have plenty of opportunities to develop their physical skills, using facilities in the leisure centre such as the hall and soft play. They enjoy using the outdoor area and search for bugs in the soil, though staff sometimes interrupt outdoor learning despite children's deep engagement.

Couldn't recommend a nursery more. My little one has been with them since a baby and he loves it. Every member of staff is amazing- they haven't just looked after my son, they have helped shape him into a an amazing little boy. Their creativity always amazes me and every day is different. My little boy loves coming home and telling me about all the fun activities he's done with his friends. It can be an emotional time trusting other people to look after your little one, but they put me at ease straight away and made the process smooth. Their flexibility and transparent communication is very much appreciated.
