Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress. Practitioners create individual education plans that set achievable and realistic goals. Practitioners support parents and communicate with different professionals, such as speech and language therapists. They mirror strategies used at home to provide continuity and consistency for children.

Outdoor space

Practitioners ensure that all children enjoy daily outings. They take children to local places, such as the woodland and park. Practitioners plan equipment in each room to encourage movement and risk taking. This helps children to develop their physical skills.

EAL / language support

Children who speak English as an additional language are supported well. Practitioners gather key words, and give families leaflets with songs and nursery rhymes in children's home languages. However, they do not consistently support children to understand about each other's different languages and cultures.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Little Me Day Nursery. From the very beginning, the communication has been fantastic. Every email I’ve sent—especially while arranging for my daughter to start—has been responded to so promptly and thoughtfully. It made what could have been a nerve-wracking transition feel smooth, organised, and genuinely supported. The team, particularly the staff in the babies’ room, have been incredibly accommodating and welcoming. They took the time to get to know my daughter, understand her routine, and reassure me every step of the way. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble, and their warmth and patience truly stand out. Most importantly, my daughter has completely taken to the nursery. She’s settled in so well, built lovely bonds with the staff, and clearly feels happy and secure there. As a parent, that means everything. I’ve also built positive relationships with the team, which makes drop-offs and pick-ups such a positive experience. I’m grateful to have found such a caring, responsive, and nurturing environment for my daughter. I would wholeheartedly recommend Little Me Day Nursery to any parent looking for a place where their child will feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for.

Just want to say a huge thank you to the staff, especially in the teenies room. They made sure my daughter settled into nursery very well. I love the frequent updates on the app & also at the end of the day which let me know how my daughter is getting on. It's very reassuring & eases my anxiety. The staff at the teenies room made check-in calls when my daughter was ill, which was very thoughtful & heartfelt. They also call when she hasn't arrived at the usual time she gets in for, which shows their attention to detail. It reassured me that they care & my child is well taken care of when she's there. I love everything about the nursery & how much progress my child is making because of the attention, care, activities & structures put in place in the nursery. Thank you so much very at the nursery, especially the carers in the teenies room.

My daughter has been at this nursery since she was 11 months old and now she's 2! She settled in pretty quickly and has always been so happy at the daycare. She's so loved and taken care of. When my daughter had a broken bone, Georgie and the staff were amazing at how they accommodate for her needs and took extra care and precautions for several weeks till she was out of it. Highly recommend!
