Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
The management team and staff have the same ambition for all children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Managers ensure the educational programme is clearly planned and staff are alert to identify children who may have SEND, making prompt referrals to outside agencies and liaising effectively with other professionals.
Outdoor space
Babies thoroughly enjoy exploring the garden as they toddle around. Staff encourage them to consider and manage risks as they challenge themselves, walking with containers in their hands. Practitioners provide a range of opportunities for children to be active, both inside and outdoors.

My daughter attends this nursery and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care and support she receives. The staff are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely caring, and they’ve gone above and beyond to understand her individual needs. She has SEN needs, and the level of support they provide is exceptional. They work with her, not around her, taking the time to truly understand her routines, her comfort, and what helps her thrive. The communication is brilliant, I always feel included, listened to, and reassured that she’s in the best possible hands! The difference this nursery has made to her progress is something I’ll never be able to thank them enough for. She has grown in confidence, independence, and happiness since starting here. It’s clear how much the team truly cares, they are an incredible group of people who care for her like she’s one of their own. My daughter is always excited to go in, and to me, that speaks louder than anything I could write. I am so grateful for everything they do, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this nursery to any parent!

My 2.5yr old has been attending since she was 1 and she loves it. The girls who work there all genuinely care about the children, I love how they encourage outdoor play with nature as well as park visits to make sure they get lots of fresh air, despite the weather. My little ones favorite part of the day is their morning dance parties! Lovely atmosphere for her to be in and would def recommend this nursery.

Our little one has been here a year now and after starting out very nervy and shy he's such a confident sociable boy who has lots of fun at nursery. Really happy with the nursery, staff look after our boy so well and are a great team.
