They work with parents and outside agencies to gain extra funding and support to reduce barriers to learning. Although children with SEND are supported well, staff do not always recognise when other children have lost interest during group times, which can impact their listening and concentration skills. ## Parent Reviews of Sprites Woodland Nursery 5.0 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjUsoZpYfOaaoGs9dF8zKWpmkhv571EycThw59ojdsUl7BJJRQdu=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Mo Sacre 6 years ago Lovely friendly nursery which helps children grow in confidence and ability.
