Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Inclusion is very much at the heart of everything the staff do. Staff are highly focused on identifying and planning for children's individual needs, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy the interesting and varied activities that are provided for them indoors and in the well-resourced garden. Staff support children's natural instincts to move and explore, for example, by playing collaboratively to construct and navigate walkways from crates and tyres.

This nursery has been great for our child and is definitely the best around to the point we travel further to place our daughter here. The staff are caring and supportive, and they take the time to really get to know each child as an individual. There’s always a good range of activities planned, and the children get plenty of attention and encouragement. Our daughter speaks affectionately about each member of staff and often asks when she is next going to nursery. Massive thankyou to all of the staff for the excellent care they give our child ☺️

A lovely nursery. Both my children have attended here and have thrived. All the staff have gone above and beyond for both my children. My little boy has SEN and has progressed so much since attended here. I can’t praise the staff enough for all their help with him. His key worker, Amy, has a lovely bond with him and has really gone above and beyond to help his development. All the staff are very caring and patient. Both my children really enjoy going each day and I’m confident sending them there.

Amazing nursery and staff made me going back to work such easier they are brilliant with my little boy and he absolutely loves going! They take the children out every Wednesday doing different things and you get lots of updates which is really reassuring and eases Mum guilt knowing they are so well looked after. My little boy has come on so much since he started and the progress reports I get show how much they really know him and he's personality really couldn't recommend them enough x
