How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff work hard to secure additional funding or support for children where necessary, which is then used effectively to help children to achieve their individual targets and make progress.

I contacted the admissions department regarding placement at this nursery. They called me to discuss the facilities, program fees, and other details, and informed me that they would follow up in the coming days with information about available slots for the period I requested. Despite following up for an update, I never heard back. If this is the level of professionalism they show toward parents, I have serious doubts about the quality of care they would provide to our children.

My child attends this nursery and I cannot rate them higher. I am pleased to have him here where I can trust the entire team around him. I drop him and I don't have to worry about if he is happy and looked after. When I collect him, he is clean and able to tell me all about the fun engaging activities he has done for the day. The team give a handover at pick up and are able to list all the things they have done for the day and how it benefits his learning. If you are looking at this nursery to put your child here, don't wait around put your child in this nursery!

Love this nursery. I leave my son knowing that he is taken care of by the best people. They must have taught him his first words too, which was the word "dad" but in my native language. Thank you Dribe and the rest of the team foe taking such good care of him.
