Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Outdoor space

Children enjoy the outdoor environment, delighting in finding spiders hidden in leaves and examining their shape and size. They are confident in using wheeled toys and race around the garden, taking care not to collide with others. They also enjoy making marks on a large chalkboard in the outdoor area, strengthening their finger muscles.

I am writing to provide feedback on my recent experience with your nursery. While I appreciate the care that your staff has provided to my child, I am disappointed with the lack of flexibility in your program. As a working parent, I require a nursery that can accommodate my schedule and provide flexible options for drop-off and pick-up times. However, I have found that your nursery has a strict schedule that does not allow for any flexibility. This has caused me considerable inconvenience and stress in trying to arrange childcare around my work schedule.

Started my son here a month ago i couldnt rate them enough they go above and beyond to ensure they look after my son. Love seeing his tapestry pictures and what he has been upto on the day. Staff always welcome me and my son and he will happily go to the staff and be smiling away making me feel comforted going to work knowing hes happy with the staff in baby room. Hand over is given to me at the end of the day saying what he has been doing and what he has ate. Garden area is lovely a seperate baby garden for them to go into.

The girls who work with the babies genuinely care for them and always provide a report on their day upon collection of your little one. Lovely nursery.
