parents comment that staff treat their children as unique individuals and they flourish in their care.
Inclusion & environment
Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities highly effectively. The special educational needs coordinator leaves no stone unturned to remove barriers to learning. She reviews intervention plans with precision and forms strong links with other professionals involved in children's care, ensuring children with identified delays receive swift support.
Children spend a lot of time outdoors. They plant and harvest a variety of herbs, fruit and vegetables, and learn about life cycles. They show a love of the natural world and enjoy investigating nature, excitedly lifting logs, looking through magnifying glasses, and talking about their discoveries.
A truly wonderful nursery! My daughter adores it here. Her face lights up when she knows it’s a ‘Hatties day’, and she goes in and comes out absolutely beaming. All the staff have a special kind of magic that is immediate, warm and nurturing. We are so grateful to be a part of the Mad Hatter’s family ♥️
