Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Where children have special educational needs and/or disabilities, leaders work closely with parents and professionals. They collaboratively develop and implement plans for children. Through this, children benefit from a shared approach to their learning.

Outdoor space

Children actively explore during their play, both indoors and outdoors. Leaders are fully aware of the limitations of outdoor space at the nursery. Therefore, they plan a wealth of exciting trips in the local community, such as outings to parks and open spaces, to increase children's physical skills like running and climbing.

Juliet and her team are absolutely brilliant. We have been part of the nursery for 3 years. My 4 year old son and 1 year old daughter absolutely love it here. The staff are so caring and kind they are like a second family to them. If you're looking for a safe place full of fun and learning you've found the right place for your children. We will be sad to leave the nursery. Thanks for shaping my kids into the amazing little people they are becoming. Donna
