Inspector highlights
Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Management have recognised the extra support that some children need in speaking and communicating since the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff speak with clear voices to role model good speech and support children to hear and understand what they are saying. They provide children with a rich variety of words to extend their vocabulary and repeat difficult words so children can learn these more successfully. Well planned small group sessions support children with targeted activities to improve language and communication skills further.
Outdoors, older children balance on wobble boards, develop their hand to eye coordination by throwing balls into a net and extend their gross motor skills while climbing and sliding on the toy castle. Toddlers and babies delight in finding insects, playing with toy animals and digging and building in the sand area outside.
The Brambles has been the most amazing nursery setting for my little boy, he’s loved every minute and the staff are just incredible, so informative, kind and caring. I can’t recommend The Brambles enough for sending your little one to!
