Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make better than good progress. They are exceptionally well supported by knowledgeable staff. Staff undertake a range of training to help them to develop the knowledge and skills to identify and support children and their families. The coordinator works well with a range of professionals to get children the help and support they need. They use funding effectively to help children to make the best possible progress.

Outdoor space

Children are safe outdoors. Staff help children to understand how to keep themselves safe outside, for example, children identify that some parts of the garden are slippery. During the inspection, children access the outdoor area in very small groups to avoid the risk of slipping on ice.

My children both attended Kerries Cherubs full time for the early years section of the program, from 10 months all the way to 4 years old, which was famouly in our house renamed cherries kerubs, both of my boys were and are still absolutely full of life, always on the go and adored new information, Kerries didnt disappoint. There wasn't any area of Faye and the girls care I wasn't happy with, they fully checked and tracked their progress and helped them absolutely thrive through every major mile stone, since leaving at 4 years old in full time child care to the wrap around and after schooling assistance they still offer now at aged 10, they have always been there as a massive support. Always offering assistance where needed. They have recently taken on an allotment which I think definitely brings an amazing new dimension that my boys would have absolutely loved, from getting their hands dirty to always having an outdoor adventure, they have also, along with the life cycle of a butterfly and a frog (and if you have had the opportunity to watch and listen to ur child grow and learn through this experience, will know how magic it really is) giving the children past and present the opportunity to witness the life cycle of a chick inviting old nursery children back to witness this, so no one missed out and rearing chicks to fully grown chickens that now live on the allotmemt full time. They are teaching invaluable learning across the board both inside the nursey, curriculum based and outside including how to be self contained, grow and nurture plants and animals, plus all of the essentials in life, giving the kids much needed confidence and new and exciting experiences across the board. I honestly believe this is the best around after 10 years this nursery is still my trusted go too and still supports me with my child care needs whenever i need it. Top class service from girls who really want to make a difference to the kids in their care.
