Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff work in harmony with outside agencies to ensure children who need it most, get the best support possible. Additional funding is used well to provide individualised support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and for staff training in this area, resulting in children with SEND flourishing.

Outdoor space

Babies have their own dedicated outdoor play area, meaning they can play and explore safely. The quality of teaching was observed indoors and outdoors, and the inspector assessed the impact this has on children's learning.

I have had 3 children attend Little Giggles Edgeley over the last 7 years. Using the nursery and the holiday club. As a setting they have been amazing for all of my children with my youngest finishing preschool before starting school in September, I feel confident they have helped him meet his targets/needs before he starts. As a nursery it is a great layout including a library and sensory room. The room sizes are great too. They facilitate outings for the children and have a great outdoor space which is secure and includes equipment to enhance physical activity. I think all staff are friendly and approachable. With Sionade as the office manager she is always a friendly face at drop offs and pick ups, she is very efficient and is happy with any questions or queries. Josh has been great with my youngest son, and has helped him regulate his emotions and helped his development immensely. I would also like to say that the food prepared and made by Diane in the kitchen has always been great. It is a varied selection of food/meals and has encouraged my children's eating habits over the years. I would like to Thank you all at little giggles Edgeley for your help and support over the last 7 years to myself and my children.

This is a fantastic nursery. My son has been attending for 2 years now after moving him from another nursery. The staff are so caring & he's come on leaps and bounds thanks to the amazing hard work of his key worker!! They have been amazingly supportive with my son's medical condition, ensuring all staff are trained to deal with any emergencies that may arise. The facilities are absolutely second to none and they were recently rewarded with an Ofsted outstanding as a result of all their hard work. Go and have a tour you definitely won't be disappointed!!.

We've had our son at Little Giggles in Edgeley for over 12 months and in that time we have had great service from the team. The staff are attentive and our son has developed really well, making friends and obviously enjoying a life away from us, where he's comfortable to become himself, grown and learn. Updates are fun and informative. Importantly, the team are flexible with late / emergency bookings and a special shout out to Sinead for her patience regarding availability enquiries!
