Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are very well supported. Leaders have developed a well-resourced sensory room, enabling staff to provide intensive interactions for those children that need targeted support. They also share well-considered strategies with parents to ensure children with SEND make the progress they are capable of.
All children get daily access to outdoor play. They use their leg muscles, pushing themselves along on tricycles, skilfully navigating around the large play equipment and their friends. This supports their developing physical skills.
Such a friendly and lovely nursery. The staff is very kind and accommodating. The admin side is a bit of a mess, some mistakes in invoices and extra charges etc, but my boy loves going there and this is the most important thing. They seem to always do something new and have fun. Thank you 😊
