Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff work hard to ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities have their needs met. The special educational needs coordinator has a good working knowledge of the children. Staff support families and work with other professionals to implement strategies, to help children to make the best progress they can.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy developing their physical skills in the outdoor area and large soft-play area. Pre-school children have fun as they jump, do star jumps, run, use wheeled toys, and hide in the 'hobbit house'. However, there are limited opportunities for children who prefer learning outdoors.

We are sending our two children to Teapots for years (both started when they were babies) and we are very happy with the work they are doing and how they treat our children. Full of activities, drawings, hand craft projects, singing, garden games, huge soft play area etc. The stuff is really great and we as parents can see that even now during Covid-19 they did + still doing everything they can to minimise the risk for kids. There are some amazing ladies there like Kirstie, Lucy, Alice, Terri, Helen and as a father I feel that I leave my kids every day in the most capable hands. Great place! Well done Stephanie!

This is honestly the only place I would trust to send my children. Steph and all the girls are doing an amazing job and they have had both my toddlers since they were babies! They are all very caring and genuinely love what they're doing and this is reflected to the wellbeing of the children they care for. I would recommend them without a second thought!
