Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The staff accurately track children's development and are quick to identify children who may need additional support. They work closely with parents and multi-agency professionals to ensure children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive the correct support. This ensures all children make good progress from their starting points.

Outdoor space

Pre-school children are avid explorers as they seek out ice in the garden to further investigate. They use picture boards to identify birds as they excitedly spot a magpie and a robin. Staff follow thorough risk assessments to maintain safe indoor and outdoor environments.

My daughter is very happy here. She does 4 days a week and she loves coming to nursery. They have a buzzer system to get in/out of the building and a code to enter to get into the corridor where the children's rooms are - very secure! The food menu is varied and my daughter enjoys the food, they do various activities such as painting, and they allow the children to go out into the garden which is nice and big (younger children have their own special area away from the bigger kids). The youngest children have tiny beds to sleep in and the older children sleep on a quilt cover area on the floor. As the children grow, the nursery encourages more and more independence such as toasting their own bread for breakfast etc and prepares them for school although my little one hasn't reached that point yet. I would definitely recommend this nursery.

Highly recommend this nursery for any new or existing parents. I moved my daughter here from another nursery setting in 2023, and now my son attends here too and its the best decision i had made. The building is safe, all staff members are friendly, approachable and welcoming. Each nursery room have play equipment and set ups perfect for the age group intended for that room. There is a lovely garden for all children of all ages to enjoy and is surpervised by the staff members at all time. The nursery have a portal/platform to communicate with perents to update you on daily updates (such as nappy, eating, sleeping) with your child and keep you posted on development, milestones, incident reports and reviews. My children absolutely love being here, you can see they are content, feel safe and excited to start their day and also leave happy and thats all you can ask for as a parents ☺️

My little one went to this nursery for nearly 6 years (until he's officially 6 years old) We would highly recommend this place as for professionals it's an amazing place to leave your kids. Sometimes I was late due to nature of work but they are very accommodating always. Very welcoming environment and lovely team. Management of this branch is absolutely wonderful. In fact they helped us with my little one's speech delay routines too. Have no proper words how can I thank these guys, such a blessing for us.
