How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs and/or disabilities coordinator is extremely experienced and knowledgeable. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported through partnership working. Professionals who work with the nursery speak highly of the support that is offered to children with SEND. All children make the progress they are capable of.

Outdoor space

Children access a range of activities within their play that encourages them to revisit the story of the month. For example, outside, children hunt for the characters the 'evil peas'. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.

Our daughter absolutely loves going to see her friends at nursery, and we love how dedicated and caring every single member of staff is. So receptive of our needs and passionate about making our daughters day fun and adventure ... and making sure we're always in the loop. Would highly recommend Ladybird to anyone.

My Minnie loved being in toddlers and now loves being in pre school. She tells me lots of stories about her day and I can't thank the staff enough for what they do. She has started her potty training whilst being at nursery and she is doing brilliantly thanks to the staff working alongside her. Really is a great nursery! Highly recommended ☺️
