Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Generally, children are exposed to a wide curriculum, and they make good progress, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders use additional funding to provide children with SEND with beneficial sensory experiences, ensuring access to a fully inclusive, enjoyable, and memorable curriculum.
Children enjoy the opportunity to enhance their physical abilities through various activities. They enjoy playing outdoors and benefit greatly from running around with their friends in the fresh air. Staff support children to climb safely on equipment and provide bikes and scooters to help children to increase muscle strength and negotiate space.
Both of my children attend this nursery and we’ve had such a positive experience. What really stands out is how personal it feels — the team take the time to really get to know each child, so it feels much more one-to-one and focused on their individual needs and daily routine. The staff are incredibly caring and supportive, and they encourage the children to develop their own personalities through learning, exploring and play. It’s a lovely environment and very reassuring as a parent to know they’re in such attentive and nurturing hands. For parents, they make sure we are in the loop of everything with chats at pick up and drop off along side daily updates on the app. Highly recommend!

The setting and staff created a friendly welcoming environment. They are very accommodating with hours and days needed. We would recommend owlets nursery to anyone looking for an amazing, safe and nurturing preschool.

Read on GoogleWhat an amazing nusery, my son had an amazing time here with Kelly and the team he thrived so much and was set up for success for when he went to school. Thank you so much.
Read on GoogleI have sent both of my children to this nursery and the staff are great. They really love the kids that they look after and it was always a delight to discuss the days activities that my kids had, had with them. From story time to days out in the woods my kids loved learning with Owlets. It is a shame that we will not be seeing them as any more as my kids have now gone on to 'big' school.
