Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is good. The special educational needs coordinator has a deep understanding of each child's needs. Each child receives a bespoke plan of activities that meets their diverse needs. Staff work well with other professionals to ensure that children get the right support.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy being outdoors. They develop good coordination and balance skills as they master the climbing frames and hoops. Children thoroughly enjoy 'dough disco' as they pinch and squeeze the dough. This helps to build the muscles in children's hands needed for writing. Babies gain confidence to crawl and to pull themselves up as they hold sturdy furniture.

Fantastic nursery and outstanding staff! All the classrooms, the outside garden, toys, furniture, and spaces are just thought and organized around children's needs. It’s so important as a parent to feel like your children are well cared for and safe while being away from them and this nursery has always made me and my daughter feel this way. I could not have chosen a better nursery.

went to visit Little Giggles leigh today with my little boy and have never ever been blown away so much, the nursery is so bright and welcoming. Each and every room had age appropriate facilities and is so inviting. The setting is so fresh and new, I loved the added sensory room especially the sensory pads my little boy loved watching the water move around as he stamped on the mats. Every room in the nursery has their own access to an outdoor area with amazing outdoor equipment! The nursery is absolutely amazing and so beautifully designed❤
