Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Managers have a strong focus on providing an inclusive environment and activities are accessible so all children can engage fully in their learning. Specially adapted equipment ensures that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) can join in. Children with SEND are well supported, with staff working closely with parents and professionals to plan specific targets that meet individual needs, resulting in good progress in their learning.

Outdoor space

Toddlers enjoy playing in the mud kitchen. They pretend to slice mushrooms and cook them in the toy oven. Through their play they develop physical skills that support their independence. Staff redirect children to throw balls in the garden.

Would not recommend this nursery at all. My son kylan had a terrible experience. I sent him in pants and came in to him being in a nappy with pants over the top. Had numerous amount of meetings with the manager and nothing ever really got solved. Since I pulled my son Out the nursery my son got diagnosed with intellectual disability and was told by the women there was no possible way my son did any of the work he took home from this nursery which all had his name on. There were a lot of times where I walked into my son being extremely dirty with food all over his face, and they just left it like that. Would not recommend at all, as I’m sure they wouldn’t treat there own child like that.

We moved our son here after having a terrible experience with another local nursery (Hertford Barns/Munns Farm) so we were a little sceptical. From our very first meeting with Kat we knew that we had made the right choice and my son's happiness and development speaks for itself. We were introduced to his Key worker (Ashley) on his first day and have had daily updates from his food consumption, activities and toilet times. The whole team here are just amazing at what they do and my wife and I have been amazed at how well our son has developed and continues to develop daily, on top of this we get to see his development and next steps through the tapestry app. The fees are reasonable and well priced and I personally would say that it is worth every single penny, the attention to detail and personal assistance that we receive is second to none. I think it would only be fair to sign off this top mark review with a special thanks to "Rufus" the nursery pet guinea pig, who my son doesn't stop talking about when he arrives home. Well done guys, keep up the hard work!!!
