Inspection #10260419 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50230468) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > care for their children as individuals' Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff attend training to help them meet the needs of families and support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Outdoor space Children enjoy fresh air as they spend plenty of time outdoors. They use chalks to make marks on the pavement and thoroughly enjoy splashing in the water as staff sing nursery rhymes. Older children point out butterflies and enjoy the challenge as they move around the obstacle course. EAL / language support A strength of the nursery is the way in which staff support children and families who speak English as an additional language. Staff use words in children's home language to help develop their ability to communicate their needs and build on their understanding of new words. For example, during circle time, children sing the 'hello' song and use Mandarin words to greet their friends. The manager supports families by translating documents to enable communication. ## Parent Reviews of Montessori Pre-School Nursery 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocJ4ALoEhqVnhwgJFFP6Ug4Nx6TR-PKD4N3n5vd8Awo96IRVbQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Jane Wilkinson 6 years ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNjallHbDZnRRAB!2m1!1s0x487e9316a007869b:0x11f6868aafd0e390) Reviews from Google for Montessori Pre-School Nursery.
