How they support every child

SEND provision

The nursery strongly supports children with SEND. They identify gaps in children's learning and development at an early stage. Staff work closely with children's parents and other professionals, such as speech therapists, to plan future learning. They make good use of additional funding to, for example, offer sensory play experiences to help children's emotional well-being or training to support children's specific needs.

Outdoor space

Parents appreciate how children have learned to cross the road safely through their play in the exciting outdoor spaces.

My son goes there he use to cry everytime I took him and I Dint leave because he was crying so they told me to leave him and just go so I did and I kept ringing every 30min to see if he was okay and they told me as soon as I left he stopped. I did this for a couple of weeks then he started going saying bye mum. When he gets home he just talks about how much fun he's had. The teachers here are amazing thankyou for letting my son come to your great nursery x
