Operating year-round from 8:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, the nursery creates a nurturing environment where children are welcomed warmly and encouraged to develop independence from the moment they arrive. The dedicated staff ensures every child feels valued and secure, fostering emotional security through consistent routines and strong attendance. The nursery places a strong emphasis on language development, with a love of books evident across the setting. Children explore thoughtfully planned activities that build on their interests and existing knowledge, whether it's preparing healthy muffins, learning new vocabulary during water play, or investigating farm animals in the baby room.

They arrange targeted training, such as qualifications in working with children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to strengthen staff's confidence and expertise. Practitioners have also recently joined an online Makaton course to support children with speech and language delay. Practitioners use visual cues and sensory resources to support children with emerging special educational needs and/or disabilities. These thoughtful adaptations ensure that every child can access the curriculum, participate fully and make meaningful progress. Outdoor space Leaders regularly evaluate practice to ensure that children gain the most from their time at nursery. For example, they identified that children were waiting too long while the whole group prepared to go outside. In response, practitioners now take smaller groups out, reducing waiting times and improving the flow of routines. This also creates smaller groups indoors, enabling children to engage more meaningfully in activities. EAL / language support The report mentions that practitioners have recently joined an online Makaton course to support children with speech and language delay and to promote inclusive communication across the setting, which would benefit children with English as an additional language. ## Parent Reviews of Little Peoples Nursery 3.7 (3) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjXs293l9d0mhUY-sxAnIfLvAz6-chkqKfhm9MqEaxxincFd_krj=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Sammy E a year ago My son has adored every second of every day he’s attended the Nursery & Preschool.
