Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The manager and staff monitor children's learning meticulously and there is strong support for children when they need extra help. The special educational needs coordinator provides focused support plans across the nursery. She is proactive in working with other professionals and puts their advice into practice effectively.

Outdoor space

Children benefit from daily opportunities to be physically active and enjoy exploring outdoors in the fresh air. This supports their good health and they enjoy learning about the natural world. For example, toddlers are excited to watch tadpoles, saying, 'they are moving' as they enthusiastically use their hands to show staff how tadpoles swim.

My baby started at just under 11months. Initially, he’d cry at drop off but after a few weeks he’s full of smiles and is happy as larry to go in. The staff are all really lovely, I can’t fault them. My baby is has a beaming smile the whole way home and you can tell he’s had a really good day.
