SEND provision

The support for children with SEND is exemplary. The special educational needs and disabilities coordinator works closely with parents, professionals and staff to ensure that children receive tailored support to make the progress they are capable of. The guidance given to staff is highly comprehensive and enables them to fully ensure the provision is inclusive for children. As a result, children with SEND develop exceedingly well from their starting points.

Outdoor space

Children have tremendous fun outdoors while digging and exploring, balancing on walkways and running about the space. Babies giggle with staff as they slide down the equipment into low-level water. Staff are highly skilled and meticulously arrange and adapt the environments specifically for the current needs and interests of children.

St Andrews Nursery has been absolutely exceptional, and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Our son has attended since he was just 8 months old and is now leaving at 3 years to start his next school journey. The staff are truly amazing — caring, kind, and dedicated beyond words. From the very beginning, we always felt completely confident that our son was not only safe, but genuinely loved and nurtured. They have supported him every step of the way, helping him grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity while encouraging his learning and development in such a natural and joyful way. The environment at St Andrews is warm, welcoming, and stimulating, and the relationships the staff build with both the children and parents are outstanding. Communication has always been excellent, and it has been so reassuring to see how well they understand and support each child as an individual. We are endlessly grateful for everything St Andrews Nursery has done for our son and for us as a family. The foundations they have helped build will stay with him for life. We will always look back on our time here with enormous appreciation and fond memories. Thank you, St Andrews — you will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

My son attended St Andrews nursery from 6 months old under he left to start primary school. I knew it was the right place for us the minute I walked through the door. The staff are wonderful and the care, nurturing and development of the children is second to none. Julie is wonderfully passionate about the nursery and injects energy & fun into the place. It helped give my son the best start in life and he started school as a happy, smart, confident boy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend St Andrews to anyone

St Andrew’s Nursey is an excellent example of a children’s nursery. The environment is clean and safe. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Our little boy throughly enjoys attending and has progressed hugely in the past year. The introduction of Tapestry is very much welcomed as we can engage in our child’s learning from home. The leadership and management are second to none and are very proactive in listening to the views of parents. I can not praise this nursery enough. Thank you all for your hard work, it truly is appreciated.

My son has been going to St Andrews Nursery for 5 months now and he absolutely loves it. He also adores all the staff there and feels comfortable/safe in their care. This makes me feel so relaxed and puts my mind at ease. He’s happy so I’m happy. He has learnt so much since he started and his confidence has grown incredibly. The nursery is excellent! It has such a warm welcoming and friendly atmosphere. It is always clean and tidy. All the rooms are colourful, interactive and engaging for the children with plenty of toys and topic related activities to explore. The new sensory room is amazing and such a haven for the children’s development. The outdoor learning area is fabulous and the staff are always making changes or adding areas to the garden to offer a range of learning opportunities. The owners, managers and staff are all wonderful and so helpful. They create such a warm, caring and fun environment. They are always friendly and approachable should you wish to discuss anything about your child at anytime. They listen to your child’s needs and try their absolute best to ensure their needs are met and that they are comfortable. We get regular and detailed feedback about his day/week, we also get learning updates on tapestry, newsletters and emails so we are well informed about everything going on with our son and the nursery. I couldn’t imagine a better place for my son! Julie and her team are fabulous and I’m so pleased we chose this nursery after looking at 10 different ones! I can’t wait for my second son to start and neither can he! I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

St Andrews day nursery is a safe, clean and exceptionally caring environment for all pre-school children. The 3 separate areas for babies, toddlers and pre-school work well and all the children seem very happy. I would not hesitate to recommend Julie and her team.
