SEND provision

Staff have high expectations of children and are passionate about each child reaching their full potential. Leaders are highly skilled in using assessments to recognise any possible concerns. They work closely with parents and external agencies to help all children to make the best possible progress.

Brilliant nursery. Wouldn't want my child anywhere else! I've noticed a massive positive change within my son, his speech and social skills have improved as has his understanding of things.

A disgrace for service. This is if Starbucks did nurseries. No personal touch, all remote communication from Head Quarters - no longer a "local" nursery. If you wanted to grade Harrison - 5 stars. What it has become under Kids Planet is horrible to see. I'm so pleased that we are done with this organisation.
