About this day nursery

The curriculum is crafted to support each child's unique development, bridging the gap between home and nursery life. The nursery employs highly qualified staff who are passionate about early years education and committed to giving children the best possible start.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children make good progress from when they start at the nursery, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff support children with SEND very well. They work closely with the special educational needs and disabilities coordinator (SENDCo) and area SENDCo to get the early and ongoing support the children need. The SENDCo is well qualified and uses her expertise to role model techniques for other staff to observe, such as sensory circuit activities. This means children benefit from all staff being able to implement these effective techniques.

Outdoor space

Children eagerly participate in daily outdoor play. They enjoy balancing on obstacles and wooden blocks. Staff support children to take appropriate risks, such as pedalling a tricycle on wooden planks. This allows children to assess their own capabilities and builds a sense of achievement when completing tricky tasks.
