Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

When children's progress gives cause for concern, staff take appropriate action. They work in partnership with parents and implement advice from specialist professionals. Additional funding, such as early years pupil premium, is used effectively.

Outdoor space

Younger toddlers use energetic, whole-arm movements to aim cotton-wool balls at a sticky target. Pre-school children confidently tackle a climbing wall, giving them practice in coordinating their arms and legs.

My daughter currently attends Kinder Giggles and my son recently left for school. I honestly can not imagine sending my children anywhere else. My daughter is so happy going into nursery and I love the constant updates I get through out the day, being able to see what she is currently up to and how she has been. She learns something new everyday and I am beyond proud of how much she is coming on. My son left more than ready for school and I will be forever grateful for the knowledge and fun that has been given to both my children. Thank you to all the staff who go above and beyond for our children!

By far the best ever nursery! Both my sons now attend this nursery and I cannot praise them enough! My eldest is currently being tested for Autism and was non verbal when starting in June, he has now started saying words and the staff are so so good with him! The staff are so patient and I would be truly lost without their support! They are an absolutely amazing team and all work so hard together. My children are always happy when going to nursery. This nursery is such a cute little and homely run nursery, the difference in my children since leaving their last nurseries is unreal! They are always on adventures and the staff always have so much time for all the children with it being small. Thankyou so much for everything you do for my boys!

The best nursery we could have picked for our daughter. We chose Kinder Giggles because it was small and has a family feel to it. My daughter was born during lockdown and had some health issues and i felt supported by the staff in making sure she was safe and settled. She absolutely loves her time at nursery with all of her friends. We are kept up to date with all of the amazing activities they do throughout the day. Management have always been approachable and flexible if I have needed to change days or times. We have used other nurseries in the area for my other child and feel they have not been at the same standard as what kinder Giggles is. Thanks everyone for all of your hard work xx
