Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff working with children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive training and support to understand children's specific needs. They notice and act promptly when children may need additional support and work closely with parents and other professionals to plan for each child's specific needs.

Outdoor space

Children thoroughly enjoy playing outside. They explore sand and water, learn how to grow vegetables and run and climb on age-appropriate apparatus. However, sometimes staff do not consistently extend children's learning in the outdoor environment.

Little Tigers day Nursery is a great nursery and has a dedicated team ensuring all children's needs are met. The nursery is bright and colourful and always welcoming. My daughter started in the baby room and has a great bond with All the staff here and especially with her key worker. They provide their own home cooked meals which my daughter loves and a variety of fruit/vegetables for snack times. My daughter is due to leave for school in September however we will be definitely staying for breakfast and after-school club that they provide. Thank you Little Tigers for looking after my little girl and giving her the best experiences. She really does love coming to nursery ❤️ X

I have been a nursery practitioner at Little Tigers Day Nursery for 8 years. At the nursery it gives a very warm welcome to everyone that comes to the door and the children are very well cared for. I know this from first hand experience as my son went to the nursery from the age of two years old and each and every practitioner was able to go above and beyond to suit my childs needs. All the food is very fresh and is home made by our fantastic kitchen staff and the food is very nice. All the practitioners are very professional with the children and are happy to support the families at the Nursery too. Little Tigers is like my second home and I am very proud to say I work there.
