From the very beginning, the team has been incredibly supportive, caring, and professional.\n\nWe receive daily updates, weekly observations, and detailed monthly reports, which really help us feel involved in his learning journey. It’s so reassuring to see how much thought and effort goes into supporting each child’s development.\n\nSince starting, my son has absolutely thrived. His speech has improved so much, his confidence has grown, and his knowledge continues to amaze me every day. It’s clear that the practitioners genuinely care about the children and are passionate about what they do.\n\nI cannot thank the team enough for everything they do for both me and my son. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.",

I am proud to say that this is 10/10 Pre-School and I will definitely recommend this to all parents to send their children here. And to all the members of staff keep it up❤️❤️❤️You guys are doing an amazing job and service for the children.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️",

Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported exceptionally well. Staff meet with parents and other professionals to support children's learning and development, working together to set targets for children to work towards. Based on children's starting points, they are making good progress with their learning and development.

Outdoor space

When playing outside, children confidently ask to move between play areas to explore the nature area and climbing frames. This helps to further support children's language development.

My son has been attending this nursery since October, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the progress he has made. From the very beginning, the team has been incredibly supportive, caring, and professional. We receive daily updates, weekly observations, and detailed monthly reports, which really help us feel involved in his learning journey. It’s so reassuring to see how much thought and effort goes into supporting each child’s development. Since starting, my son has absolutely thrived. His speech has improved so much, his confidence has grown, and his knowledge continues to amaze me every day. It’s clear that the practitioners genuinely care about the children and are passionate about what they do. I cannot thank the team enough for everything they do for both me and my son. I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child.

I am so happy with this nursery! My little one has been going here for almost two years and has absolutely thrived there. The staff are always so caring and put a lot of though and detail into her observations and work that she does. They always keep you up to date with new ideas they are bringing to the nursery, and have such exciting activities for the parents to join in with also. I cant thank the staff and management enough for everything they have done for me and my little girl. Respect to all of you ❤️

I would just like to say this is the most organised Pre-school I have ever seen. Extremely tidy and educational.As soon as you step in you CAN see the high standards. I also love how they pay attention to the children’s needs. They treat the children with kindness and respect and ACTUALLY prepare the kids for primary school and it’s the first nursery that I’ve seen where the kids actually have a uniform. I am proud to say that this is 10/10 Pre-School and I will definitely recommend this to all parents to send their children here. And to all the members of staff keep it up❤️❤️❤️You guys are doing an amazing job and service for the children.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We couldn’t be happier with this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been welcoming and caring. They create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our daughter is happy, safe, and well looked after every day.

I am so happy with Little Elms Shirley, the staff are so caring and welcoming from the very first day. My son has been going for 4 months now and really enjoys going here - he’s settled in so well. I would recommend this nursery and will be sending my baby girl here too!
