How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are very well supported.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy being in the outside play space. They get opportunities to mix with other children, enabling them to play together. Toddlers practise pushing themselves along on ride-on cars, navigating confidently around friends and waiting patiently. Pre-schoolers delight in throwing and spinning hoops, understanding how to change their direction.

My daughter has been going to the nursery since 8 months now and she has been thriving in all areas. She loves going to the nursery every day and the staff is amazing in taking care of her. We are so relieved knowing she is in safe and caring hands.

My nephew is clearly thriving at this setting. He has come on leaps and bounds in his speaking, critical thinking and confidence. Whenever I pick him up, the team are happy, warm and attentive. They make sure to celebrate the best parts of his day and he will often bounce out of the nursery talking about what he has been doing. When I see the post of the activities he does on a daily basis, I am blown away by the attention to detail the team there give each child to help them prepare for the next stages in life. We all love Pippa's House Aldershot and could not be more grateful to the wonderful, competent and caring team that look after him. From the Mangers down, please know that you are doing a fantastic job for all of those kids!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this nursery. Our son always felt happy, safe, and excited to go in each day. The staff are truly lovely – kind, attentive, and professional. It’s a clean, well-run setting that gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommended!

My son has attended this nursery since the day they opened. The staff have been very friendly and are great with him to the extent that he does not cry when we drop him off but when we take him home. We have not had any issues with his care at all and our new born will hopefully be attending when he reaches the age we want him to statt going.
