Inclusion & environment
The special educational needs coordinator works closely alongside staff and external professionals to gain support for children identified with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Children play outside daily and enjoy using a range of equipment that supports their developing muscle control, balance, and coordination. For example, children access age-appropriate slides and develop their hand-eye coordination as they use balls to knock down skittles.
This was the last of the three places I visited before registering my 14m son. The lovely Lorraine showed me around in a way that convinced me that I should look not any further. I noticed that they are Ofsted certified which built up my confidence about the place. The girls (Shaiyin, Faitha, Amber) are so pleasant and there isn't any doubt why each of the kids love going in. My little one has come a long way ever since he's begun going to nursery. He has learnt so many things and some of them are - eating by himself, make new friends, and very recently, tries to walk with support. It was quite difficult for me to think of leaving my child with someone (let alone actually doing it) after being with him for a whole year but the team at little rayes was so reassuring which made it easy on us. They share a link with you that you can log into to in order to keep track of the kids progress (everything from the sleep schedules, what they have been eating, the developmental activities carried out, accidents (if any), nappy changes, monthly invoices, term reports and so much more. You won't be disappointed if you register your little one here. Keep up the good work guys!
Read on GoogleAs a dad, I couldn’t be happier with Little Rayes. Dropping my child off each morning feels easy because I know they’re in good hands. The staff are warm and caring, and it’s clear my child is comfortable and well looked after. The environment is clean, safe, and welcoming. There are plenty of activities to keep the children engaged, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into what they do each day. I’ve noticed real progress in my child’s development since starting here. I also really appreciate how good they are at keeping parents informed. Getting updates about meals, naps, and activities gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. I’d definitely recommend Little Rayes to any parent looking for a place they can trust.
Read on GoogleGreat Nursery!, I couldn’t be happier with the experience my child has had here. I was sceptical at first to put my one-year-old into nursery but from day one, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. The environment is warm and safe allowing the children to explore, play, and learn at their own pace. What stands out most is the care and dedication of the staff. They are genuinely invested in each child’s growth and development, always offering feedback and updates. It’s clear they take the time to get to know each child. Overall, I highly recommend Little Rayes Daycare to any parent looking for a supportive, enriching environment for their child. I’m truly grateful to have found such a wonderful nursery for my child to grow in!
Read on GoogleLovely, they are very kind, my daughter loved all the staffs, is the best nursery at Norbury ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Read on GoogleThe best nursery!!! My boy had been attended Little Rayes almost 2 years. We relocate outside London and had to change everything. It is a small lovely nursery, with lots of activities for all ages. Lorraine is a very nice person, she always put the children on the first place, providing fresh and healthy food all the time. Chanel is the best manager always there for the kids. She helped my little one to settle nicely. We really miss this nursery!!
