Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is extremely well supported. Leaders swiftly identify and effectively address barriers to children's learning and ensure staff access relevant training, such as the graduated approach. Additional funding is highly effectively used to develop staff skills and provide resources like speech and language and music therapy, which positively impact the development of children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Children love to play indoors and outdoors and develop their physical skills well in these spaces. All-weather suits are in place to allow children to access the outdoor space throughout the day. Babies develop their confidence as they learn to move over ramps. All children enjoy playing outside in all weathers, talking about the feel of the rain and laughing with staff as they scoop and throw pretend snow.

my little one started nursery in January, he loves all the staff & gets so excited seeing them in the mornings. The activities provided are fantastic, from painting, sand, water & everything in between! The cameras & ey log are amazing for regular updates & checking in on them! My little boy loves the garden and exploring too.

Since September 2023, my little boy has been attending this nursery. He began in the pre-toddler room and has now moved up to the toddler room. Initially, he was quite anxious about going, but the staff were incredibly kind and made him feel at home. Now, he looks forward to attending and asks me daily if it's a nursery day (he goes only on Mondays and Fridays). His favorite activities include playing with his friends and enjoying time in the garden. Plus, the food is fantastic!
