Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Outdoor space

Qualified staff supervise children well when they play indoors and outdoors. Part of the curriculum is to support children's physical skills. In the baby room, staff provide opportunities for children to climb and balance, helping to develop the large muscle in their bodies.

EAL / language support

Children who speak English as an additional language are supported well with their communication and language skills. For example, staff use key words in their home language to support their understanding, such as when they start toileting. Pre- school children use pictures to show staff and their peers what they want. This includes showing images of asking for help and to share, wait and stop. This helps them to communicate their thoughts and needs.

Best nursery ever. My son was enjoying every day in there. Stuff members are really caring. My son learned so much in there. Can't wait until my daughter will go to Little Acorns nursery.
