Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are identified swiftly and precisely focused support plans are put into place. Staff use visual cues and show pictures which help children to make choices. Staff work harmoniously with parents and other professionals to assess and monitor children's progress, providing a consistent approach.
Outdoor space
Older children delight as they find water has frozen outdoors. Staff seize the opportunity and ask questions, allowing children to think critically and predict what could make an icicle melt. Staff encourage children to count their "dinosaur stomps" as they stride around the garden.

The nursery is amazing, they have lovely spacious rooms, that are always set up with beautiful activities. Staff and children are always engaging with children when I drop off and pick up my child. My child has settled pretty much straight away where he never really did this at his previous nursery, I'm so glad we have changed to little red. The manager is very accommodating and you can tell she is very much a family person and is involved with every child. The manager always welcomes you when she sees you, my child's key person is amazing and I'm so glad he's really settled with her and every other staff member. The baby and waddler room team are amazing and I’m so thankful for them, I love hearing about my little ones day when I pick him up.

Our son has gone to Little Red since he was 11-months-old; he is now four and preparing for school. I cannot praise the staff and nursery enough. They are amazing. The staff are professional yet personable. They take great interest in the children and their development. My son loves them; he knows the staff in all the rooms, there is consistency in the rooms so he knows the rules. He has learnt so much; he has visited local libraries, he has watched animals hatch then grow, and developed social skills beyond his years. All the staff are so helpful and accommodating. Even during the lockdown, they couldn't have been more helpful in offering provision for the key worker children. I will be sorry to see my son leave; I know he is safe and loved when at the nursery: this peace of mind is priceless. Thank you to everyone at Little Red.
