Inclusion & environment
The support for children with SEND is a real strength of this nursery. Timely referrals are made, and staff work closely with external agencies and parents to create personalised plans with detailed strategies. Additional funding is used effectively to benefit individual children, ensuring good progress.
Children thrive outdoors, developing physical skills by climbing trees and balancing on ropes. They also learn to take turns while playing on bikes.
Children who speak English as an additional language are supported extremely well across the nursery. Small-group sessions introduce new words, and staff use engaging activities, like using a metal ball to teach the word 'shiny', to help children understand new vocabulary and make good progress.
I don’t know how I havnt left a review. This nursery has been literally a God send. I prayed for a good nuraery last minute when myself and my son moved from London and he was very attached to his old nursery. I can’t believe we found one that has given him incredible friends and us both a community, has had a forest school (wow!), he's done yoga! And celebrated so many festivals and learnt so so much. The nursery has worked as a whole hub and has continuously checked in on my mental health and well-being and has seen thst if the whole family is thriving, this helps the child thrive. I cannot express how amazing little owls have been and how we’ve made lifelong friends in such a short span of time. How the whole system has supported me and my son and have adjusted to his every need. His dietary requirements as per religious reasons was vegetarian with no egg. I cannot express how far little owls have gone to cater for him individually. They make him his own eggless cakes with the same decoration so he sees no difference and when the children have omelettes he gets his own food prepared which he loves. I can write about little owls little London all day, it has been a true, true honour to be a part of the little owls family and experience and they have taken so much baggage from my back. From everything being included in the funding and not having to pay for meals and extras, to catering and updating me constantly about my son and his development. We’ve had the best time here, and im so sad to leave but so in awe and appreciation of this whole team and establishment. Thankyou to the whole universe for this experience, and I hope we can find a nursery which makes us this full as we move back down south. Bless you all. I also want to mention Charlotte the manager who has now become a beautiful friend and has worked with so many organisations to cater to our needs, as well as all of the wonderful staff from the older children’s room: Paula who has accomplished having my son run to her for the first time away from me! As hes usually very attached and doesn’t like leaving me. His key workers Adele and Nicky. His lovely book and forest school coordinator Katy, Hermionie and Hailey who the kids love. And all of the other staff who have come like Sammy, who gets down and animates herself to the children’s level. My son has been so excited and settled into nursery to quickly (it took 6 months at his first nursery and a mere 2 weeks here) thst he even wants to go on weekends so I have now taken other parents number for him to play with. It’s such a lovely community and we will miss you all so much.
