Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is good. Staff work with other professionals to support children and families. They share information with other settings that children attend and implement strategies effectively. They use a sensory room to help children feel safe and calm. Staff make adjustments to help this group of children be ready to access future education and make progress from their starting points.

Outdoor space

Children's physical development is a strong focus. Staff support babies who crawl and toddle outdoors over different surfaces to help build core strength. Toddlers repeatedly fill and pour jugs of water. This helps to develop hand-eye coordination.

Amazing nursery with kind and caring staff. Our twin daughters were very wary at first but the staff took the time to help them settle in and now it's like a home from home. Nothing is too much trouble and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 10 months old. She loves going there. I fully trust them with my daughter. They are organised and have lots of different activities and themes for the children to do. They have amazing outside space. The staff are brilliant.

Just to make it clear why I gave 1 star. - Inadequate behaviour (hitting, bullying, swearing) - Management and Leadership (careless, inadequate) - Staff (I always said that the management is at fault so the staff was all good there until they started leaving one by one every week) - Payments (monthly wrong invoices, emails after emails sent, unacceptable to do correction by us to your payroll staff) HORRIBLE - Face to Face meetings with parents (we asked several times, ofc we were told yes yes yes but it never happened, management at fault) - Injuries/accidents (many accidents not reported, many injuries, marks after 2 years on my son's face) Be careful here as is very bad... - Program for kids with problems (never improved, careless management, probably they just want to see their money in the bank account and other than that is like ,,Who cares,,. And many many more to be added.
