Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Staff implement a holistic and well-sequenced curriculum that supports children's development, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children with SEND benefit from early identification and timely intervention. Staff observe children to identify specific gaps in their learning and development and work closely with parents and external professionals to implement personalised education and care plans. Leaders use funding appropriately to meet children's individual needs.
Outdoor space
Older children ride tricycles and bounce on space hoppers with enthusiasm. These activities help children develop their spatial awareness, balance and coordination. Children enjoy cooking in the outdoor mud kitchen and tell staff they are making 'chocolate cake with chocolate frosting'.

I wanted to share my experience with everyone about Little Einstein's nursery. I have twins (boy/girl) who started attending aged 12 months. They are now 3 years 6 months and have moved on to a prep-school from Little Einsteins. The 2 years they spent at the nursery gave then a lot of confidence with other children. They were very well looked after, and have learnt a great deal. I have watched my babies grow into respectful and kind toddlers. The staff are friendly, very professional, responsible and honest. I want to thank Michelle and all the staff at the nursery for looking after and helping to nourish the most precious beings in my life. The kids miss them all.

I had left other nurseries because they were not right when I found Little Einstein’s. My daughter attended a few times a week and always looked forward to going. She would come back home and sing songs she learnt and was always tired out ready for a good nights sleep. Michelle and Fatima were both very easy to talk to and always listened to concerns and offered great advice. They definitely have a passion for caring for children and supporting the local community. Please stop by and try this nursery.

My family and I are so impressed by Little Einstein's on Railton Road. My child is so happy and thriving. The staff is professional, kind and supportive. It's a joy to see my toddler excited about learning, making friends and grow in confidence each day.

We are tested not when we have it all, but when we don’t. At first hand all appeared well, until a situation arise and the handling in the matter by Little Einstein was a nightmare, from hell.. and far from professional. I do wish Michelle and her team all the best, and that they can learn from this. What happened should not have happened and could and should have been dealt with in a professional manner. Verbal conversation involving sensitive information should be witnessed, noted, filed, and signed. Michelle and her team needs to polish up on how they go about recording and investigating incidents..and doing so accurately. Reports cannot and should never be filed on hear say!
