Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children benefit from an experienced and dedicated special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) who is passionate about ensuring all children's needs are quickly met. Every child, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, receives a truly tailored care and learning provision, thriving and making superb progress.
Outdoor space
Children balance on planks, walking slowly and taking turns. Staff encourage children to jump when they reach the end of the plank obstacle course, extending already excellent physical coordination further. Some planks are wobbly, extending balance and core strength even more.

I would recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a childcare provider who really goes the extra mile. Every day I leave my son knowing he’s in amazing hands of people who genuinely care about him. They take the time to get to know him as an individual and his likes and dislikes which is why he loves it so much and will often refer to his carers by name when he’s at home! My son is now 3.5 and started at this nursery when he was 7 months and in the time there he’s developed into a confident, bright and kind little boy and I know nursery has really contributed to this. Both myself and my husband work full time and we can only do this knowing our son is in a safe, encouraging and happy environment such as this. X
