Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) has a clear dedication for her role. She takes prompt action to address any identified gaps in children's learning. She liaises well with parents, key people and outside agencies to ensure all children are receiving appropriate support with their development. As a result, children make good progress in their learning from their starting points.

Outdoor space

Children take appropriate risks in their play, for example, swinging in trees and participating in fire safety activities. When they find snails outside, they carefully transport them to a safer place in the garden. Children also help to collect apples, plums and rhubarb from the garden to be enjoyed at mealtimes.

The best nursery in the area. The staff are brilliant with the children - there's so much warmth and care that goes into each child's development and our son has come on leaps and bounds since starting. There's nowhere else I'd trust, he loves going (so much so we've upped him going for an extra day!) and it was a no-brainer when choosing where to send our second.

The staff are great. Really good with the kids and the work they put into preparing them for school is excellent. Will be no hesitation in sending our 2nd child here.
