Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
The nursery works effectively with parents and carers to identify any emerging developmental concerns with children. Bespoke action plans are created to identify clear strategies to implement that fully support the needs of children. This helps children to close the gap in any developmental delay they have, giving them the best possible chance to progress well with their learning and development.
Outdoor space
Outdoor learning plays an integral part of children's experiences. Babies enjoy the sensory experience of sand in their hands and older children explore using drills and during water play. Natural resources, such as leaves, are used for creative activities, and children make pretend cakes in the mud kitchen, exploring different textures.

We send our sons here and they love it. They have some excellent facilities including a spectacular outdoor area. The best thing though is the staff really take the time to get to know the children and bond with them. Our eldest, who is naturally very introverted, had difficulty settling in and the staff could not have been more supportive. He has come on leaps and bounds in the years he has been attending and it's in no small part due to Leah, Julie, Jess and Charlotte's passion and dedication. Thank you so much TBDN.
