Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff quickly identify children who need additional support in language development. They use targeted teaching, such as small-group activities, to help children to make swifter progress. Children learn new words and become more confident in speaking.

Outdoor space

Support for children's physical development is a strength in this nursery. Toddlers develop their coordination when negotiating ramps in the garden. Older children develop balance and control when riding bicycles. The exercise and fresh air that children have also contributes to their good physical health.

Amazing nursery. Fantastic, caring staff who make every child feel like they are family. They build activities around each child to help them all grow and learn their own unique personalities and skills. The food is fabulous, nutritious and varied exposing children to a world of flavour. It's all home cooked with love and carefully prepared to ensure all dietary needs are met. 10/10 can't fault them so much so we had no doubts about sending another child there and we recommend the nursery to anyone that has little ones.

My 2 grandsons were at St Gabriel's nursery. They were both happy there and the staff clearly cared a lot for the children. It's been so good for their development. Thank you.
