Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is strong. Children with SEND are supported very well through inclusive, tailored strategies that meet their individual needs. All staff are aware of children's medical and dietary requirements. Healthcare plans are used effectively to ensure that children receive the support and care they require.

Outdoor space

Staff provide children with a wide range of activities to support physical development. Older children confidently use their whole bodies to navigate obstacle courses set up in the garden, practising balancing, climbing, and jumping with staff teaching them how to do this safely.

We live just up the road from the Lime Tree Day Nursery, and our child has been there for over a year now. The staff are just fantastic, and we feel very lucky to have such a lovely team looking after our child.
