Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff work closely with other professionals to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities to catch up and close any gaps in their development. They remove any educational barriers to children's learning.

Outdoor space

Children are well supported to take safe risks in their play, such as climbing in the garden. Children move around the garden looking for bugs. They dig deep into the soil and use shovels to dig into the ground. Children climb large apparatus and ride wheeled toys. Younger babies enjoy walking down the multi-level slope in the garden and sit on and move ride-on toys.

We are so grateful for the wonderful experience our daughter had at this nursery in Havering, where she started attending at just 2.5 years old. In our opinion, it’s one of the best nurseries in the area! A special thank you to incredible staff who worked with her - Abby, Lilly, Sam, and Amy. They provided exceptional care and guidance, preparing her beautifully for school and helping her develop confidence in herself. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The facility boasts a large play area, a sensory room, and a variety of daily activities. My daughter often brought home a lot of beautiful crafts. Overall, it has been a fantastic experience for us!

Such an incredible nursery. My daughter is very happy here and settled in so well. The staff are very kind and friendly. I really appreciate how they give each individual child their time and parents feedback on how their child's day was. This is from my own experience on collecting my daughter and seeing members of staff also interact with other parents too. I find this incredibly useful as we are able to understand a bit more on what the child has been up to on that particular day. They also provide a parents APP which is updated weekly and provides detailed information about your child's progress and photos which is always loving to see!

Nursery was rated inadequate following inspection then suspended and failed to provide us despite requests with the reasoning for such a measure to have been enforced by the local authority and OFSTED.
