About this day nursery

The dedicated team, comprising 16 staff members, with 13 holding relevant early years qualifications from Level 2 to Level 6, and one with a qualified Early Years Initial Teacher Training (EYITT) qualification, ensures high-quality education and care. The nursery boasts a highly attractive and well-resourced outdoor and forest school area, where children can engage in activities like growing vegetables, digging for slugs, and harvesting herbs from their garden, fostering a connection with the natural world.

Learning is further enriched through initiatives like communication and language programmes, small-group language sessions, and a lending library service to promote a love for books. The manager works closely with staff, regularly evaluating the nursery's practices and seeking advice from local authority advisers to meet individual needs, including those of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The manager engages regularly with the local authority advisers to gain further advice and support to help meet the individual needs of children. This includes using effective strategies to help children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make progress.

Outdoor space

Children of all ages benefit from spending time in a highly attractive and well-resourced outdoor and forest school area. Children have opportunities to grow vegetables, dig for slugs and cut up real mint and coriander from their herb garden for role play. While children plant real vegetables and herbs, staff listen to children's personal experiences and use prior learning to ask questions about plants and seed. They use this information to extend this knowledge further through meaningful discussions while planting the vegetables and herbs. Children benefit from learning about the wider world.
