How they support every child

SEND provision

Children who need additional help are supported particularly well. Staff work in highly effective partnerships with other agencies to ensure children get the support they need. They use a variety of methods, including visual aids, to support children with delayed communication skills.

Outdoor space

There is a well-resourced 'creation station' outdoors where children can choose freely from a wide range of arts and crafts materials to express themselves. Children engage fully in enjoyable activities such as making mud pies.

EAL / language support

Children who do not speak English at home are well supported and given opportunities to speak their home language in the nursery, which helps them learn English rapidly. The nursery staff also learn words in the children's home languages to support communication.

Can't fault them, my youngest went here and there was never any kind of troubles or drama that I can recall, my daughter enjoyed going here and at the end of the day if my daughter had a good time that's all that matters 😀
