Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

These simple tasks help all children including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) develop the skills and knowledge that they need to move onto the next stage of their learning. The setting identifies when children may need additional help and has effective links with partner agencies to support them.

Outdoor space

Older children confidently put on their coats to play outdoors. Children 'whiz' around outdoors on a variety of wheeled resources, which bolsters their confidence in their own abilities.

Both of my boys have been to this nursery, even though there was a change of ownership the wonderful staff have remained the same. That’s always a huge tick for me, staff are knowledgeable, treat the children like their own and always update on their learning. The environment is clean and even my most clingy little man will go in happy. Thank you for all you do, I would recommend you to anyone. Lucy and the boys x
