Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is a strength. Staff provide individually targeted support, adapt activities for inclusivity, and collaborate with other professionals to create appropriate support plans.

Children also navigate outside climbing apparatus and balancing beams with confidence, promoting resilience and supporting their physical and emotional health.

Children are truly at the heart of this nursery. The team genuinely cares about every child and creates such a warm, nurturing and thoughtful environment. It is a real gift to find childcare you can trust completely. Knowing our daughter is in such kind and capable hands gives us huge peace of mind. The staff are attentive, kind and truly invested in the children’s wellbeing and development. We feel very lucky to have found this nursery and would wholeheartedly recommend it to other families.

Unfortunately have no idea about safeguarding or communication difficulties in children. Terrible communication as well. Avoid.
