They involve parents in discussions and decision-making about their child and work with other professionals, taking account of their advice, to plan specific activities to support the targets set for each individual child. This ensures all children are included and enables them to make progress and have fun alongside their peers.

They are wonderful with my daughter. She loves going and has a lovely bond with Jade in particular. They have been great even though I have struggled with fees. On days like Valentine’s Day even though my daughter lives with my parents they always make sure she does a card for myself and my mother to take away. I have been really pleased with the nursery and am so glad we chose to send her there.
