Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff work with parents and other professionals to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They put plans in place to support children to access the curriculum and make progress in their development.

Outdoor space

Older children enjoy being outdoors. There are a variety of activities on offer for children outside, but the layout of the activities and outdoor space does not give children many opportunities for physical exertion.

We have been part of the SeeSaw2 community for almost 5 Years now and I can not praise this nursery enough. My first child, a natural worrier, needed extra love and care when she started going due to her anxiety’s. Not only were all the staff accomdating, but they did everything they could to make her feel welcome. After a few months, I could see the difference in her, in and out of nursery. Confidence was blooming and she had made special friendships with not only the other children there, but also the staff. Our journey continued with our second child, and despite a couple staff changes over the years, the whole atmosphere and ethos of the nursery is loving, caring and FUN! All the staff are wonderful. My children love them all. (Particular mention for Maz, who has been there for years and is the most wonderful lady you could entrust the care of your children with). Each child is made to feel special by all the staff. All the children have such a wonderful time. SeeSaw2 is like home from home. It’s a smaller nursery compared to others which will suit many children. And they offer the service of breakfast / afterschool club whixh can help once they transition into Reception should you need all day care. I can’t recomend them enough!!

I have been sending my children to seesaw 2 over the last 7 years and highly recommend. There is a family atmosphere within the nursery which gave my little guys a real sense of security. All carers are very friendly and happy to answer any questions you have. A secure environment that focuses on children's needs and development.

Our son Corey is 16 months and has been going to See Saw 2 since he was 6 months! He loves it! The staff are ALL amazing and really helped my wife return to work without the worry of whether Corey would be in good hands! It's a real homely environment and we wouldn't change it for the world! Thank you SeeSaw2

My daughter has settled in very quickly at this nursery and she loves attending. We potty trained earlier than normal and the nursery were able to accommodate the moving of my daughter from the babies room to tiny tots. I’d highly recommend this nursery, the manager and staff are lovely.
