Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff have a good understanding of the individual needs and interests of children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those in receipt of additional funding. Managers are well informed about local services that can support parents, such as strategies to help children with their speech and language.

Outdoor space

Children move confidently, both indoors and when in the garden. They develop good physical skills as they handle a range of simple tools and resources. For example, children dig and plant seeds, and they learn to balance as they walk across a low-level beam, also practising making marks with different-sized paintbrushes, crayons and chalks in the garden.

Absolutely ridiculous! Would not trust them with a strand of string let alone my child , I let so much get dismissed with this school ! My child came out with her hair all rip out the bands the teachers when questioned just blamed my child even tho her hair was tightly done with small elastics ! They just dismissed me ! The final straw was when my child came out of school with her nose full of blood , blood on her jacket and a mark on the top of her nose and the teachers who spent 3 hours with her having no idea where it happened or how it happened them to be told am I sure if it’s paint ? Again feeling like I’m just getting dismissed , they are not reliable , they are not trustworthy there is no organisation! They never changed the nappy’s in the 3 hours ! They refused to encourage my 2 year old to drink water ! They say they ain’t allowed to! TO ENCOURAGE WATER TO BE DRANK !! Definitely better nursery’s in the area that can be TRUSTED to receive your child the way you sent them
