Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is strong. Staff think carefully about what children need to learn and adapt the curriculum accordingly. For example, staff use sign and/or cue cards to communicate with children who are unable to speak. They also provide one-to-one support to help build children's social skills. Staff work closely with the special educational needs coordinator, parents and professionals. As a result, children with SEND are given the right support they need to help them to succeed.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy a mixture of outdoor and indoor activities, which gives them a wealth of learning opportunities. For example, pre-school children learn about the effects of exercise on their bodies as they pretend to be 'busy bees' collecting nectar.

You have got the same phone number on two different nursery websights lomeshaye village nursery and pendle court nursery, you must have moved. So I was looking up the address for lomeshaye village nursery and I rang you about my appointment tomorrow and you was speeking down to me on the phone. also you was repeating locations that I never even said. My review is for the woman I spoke to I can't speek on the nursery itself.
