Inspection #10322463 · Source: Ofsted View full Ofsted report (https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50236763) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision The curriculum is ambitious for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children with SEND thrive because staff focus on what they need to learn and break down tasks into small steps, providing the right support to succeed. EAL / language support Children who speak English as an additional language are truly supported. Staff acknowledge that children need time to learn English, so they ask parents to record their voices on a recording device. This helps new children to feel settled as they hear their parents' voices saying familiar phrases, such as 'let's tidy up'. This also helps children to understand what is happening next. As children become settled, they develop confidence and begin to use lots of words in English. ## Google Reviews of Simply Cherish Day Nursery 4.3 (12 Google reviews) Paul Corcoran 2 years ago Outstanding nursery. Excellent staff who clearly love working there, healthy home cooked food and our toddler never wants to leave at the end of every day.
