Inspection #10264358 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50208208) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Management and staff are clear on how to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They work closely with outside agencies to offer appropriate support for children and their families. Outdoor space Although staff plan well for indoor learning, they do not always give the same consideration to learning outdoors. Children spend less time outside and this is weather dependent which leads to children not fully developing their skills and knowledge, particularly those who learn best outdoors. ## Parent Reviews of Sunshine Day Nursery (NGH) 5.0 (4) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocJsn5MG33D4FykecjnIORoVPlUyPm5Th3HM14KLOzRq8UsIDg=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Rebekah Bellamy 11 months ago We've had such a wonderful experience with this nursery!
