Inspection #10249153 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50197957) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make excellent progress. The curriculum is inspiring. It progressively builds on the knowledge and skills that children already have, and what they need to learn next. Leaders create strong links with local schools and staff work astoundingly well with external professionals and parents so that children get the support that they need to truly thrive. Outdoor space Children attend regular beach school sessions, take trips on the ferry and explore the local woods. Older children show remarkable strength as they dig holes in wet sand on the beach to search for water beneath. Children also relish in the sheer delight of sitting together quietly in a cosy tent reading in the garden. ## Parent Reviews of Mini Me's Beach Nursery 5.0 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKEmzWKVPoMz3Y46-X5kljvfnVRo93j8uim699zBRhTJ8Z6iA=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) richard taylor 8 years ago A fantastic nursery with great staff who are amazing with the children.
