Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are particularly well supported. They develop close relationships with their key staff, who demonstrate good knowledge of children's circumstances and work closely with parents and other professionals to meet children's specific needs. Staff agree teaching strategies with other settings to plan activities that complement children's learning.

A very friendly, caring nursery which gets a good Ofsted rating. Great facilities, like a garden and soft play area. One of the best things are the flexible hours, so ideal for people who don’t work during school holidays.
