SEND provision

My son has just left this nursery to go on to big school, he suffers from autism and could barely speak with him also being a lock down baby. His teacher was Megan and she has done some amazing work with him in a very short time, in my mind she is a hero. My son has complete been transformed well beyond my expectations and can not only talk in normal sentences but knows things that I didn't even realize he knew. The team here are absolutely brilliant and always go the extra mile, I salute you all.

Very good pre school. My child has been attending for 6 months and his speech has come along really well. He loves going in every day and the staff are all very friendly. My only gripe is the drop off when he started at 9.30am, the waiting area was very busy and parents allow children to run wild. We go in early so it's a nice drop off
