How they support every child
SEND provision
The manager and staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. They work well with other professionals and use strategies recommended by them to support these children. This ensures that every child makes good progress.
Outdoor space
Children make the most of exploring the beautiful garden. For example, they 'cook' in the sandpit, climb over ramps and climbing frames, balance along beams and learn to pedal on bikes. Children learn about nature through observing the snails and frogs, and feeding and caring for them.

This is a wonderful caring nursery. All staff know each child well, and their love and commitment to them all is remarkable. My grandsons love their time there, and I am always reassured that learning with play is happily occupying them. Terrific place in a lovely environment, with the park and a farm on the doorstep, and a tree-house in the garden. All the staff from those on reception to those doing the great catering, to the carers, are exceptional. They are led brilliantly by Jermaine, and have provided excellent role models for all the children.

Wonderful children’s centre and nursery with energetic, caring staff, lots of play ideas, and a real appreciation of every child’s individuality. There’s a sense of fun and a love of children that’s almost tangible. The superb leadership and imaginative commitment of every member I’ve met of the staff team raises my spirits each time I regularly deliver/collect our grandson. He is SO lucky to have access to this fantastic Islington local facility.
