Staff work closely with external professionals, who signpost families of children with SEND to this nursery. The special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) is knowledgeable and passionate about her role. All staff receive quality training to meet a diverse range of needs. The superbly refurbished sensory room further demonstrates a commitment to meeting children's needs. Outdoor space The outside area is developed to provide plenty of opportunities for children to be active and physical, and to explore and investigate, in their play. Younger children enjoy exploring the contents of a natural treasure basket, while others giggle with delight as they hold hands and run down the hill. Staff innovatively plan different areas to meet the needs of all children. For example, they provide a sensory footpath to successfully engage children with additional sensory needs. EAL / language support All staff have some level of Makaton training and use signing to support children's inclusive language development. They use other strategies consistently, such as visual prompts and attention-building games and activities. This supports children to become confident communicators, with notably strong listening and attention skills. ## Parent Reviews of Storybook Day Nursery 4.7 (3) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLF5F0qgi6yhSPyFI0u9GSATWYYXSMgKT0kz-_0KTu_7P2RIQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Kent Craven 5 years ago A truly fantastic, caring and nurturing nursery.
