Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are exceptionally well supported. Staff are very quick to spot signs of children not meeting relevant milestones. Without delay, they put actions in place to support these children through, for example, intensive interaction sessions and enlisting the support of external professionals. This helps children to make excellent progress.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.

My daughter has been attending little hearts since she was 9 months old and has grown and flourished so much. I was very anxious about sending my daughter as she is my first child but she absolutely loves it. The staff and owners take great pride in what they do and the setting speaks volume for its self. There resources are brilliant. The nursery is so warm and welcoming. The staff are so reassuring and make it easy leaving my daughter there as I know she is in safe hands. The only nursery I would ever recommend ♥️

Absolutely amazing. I can not recommend this nursery enough. All the staff are fantastic and treat my son so good and so patient with him (he is a very difficult child to settle without me or his dad) but the staff here handle the situation every morning so professionally. They care about each and everyone of their their children at the settings and it really shows. When my son started here I was extremely anxious ( I would wait outside in the reception for hours, until he had settled) but they honestly put my mind at ease.. thank you so much to every single one of you at little hearts nursery for everything you do for my son 😊😊😘😘😍😍🥰🥰
