Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) and staff work together to assess children to ensure they are given additional support at the earliest opportunity. The SENCo and staff are quick to identify children who are not at their expected levels of development. They share information with parents and work in partnership with other professionals to develop next steps in learning. This helps children to make the best possible progress.

Outdoor space

In the garden, children practise their gross motor skills as they run around cones during football time and build large structures in the construction area.

My daughter loved coming to this nursery. They have recently refurbished it inside and out. The staff are lovely and very caring and my daughter loved most of all the chickens in the garden

I visited and viewed a few nurseries before choosing Little Garden, and I was honestly very worried about how my daughter would adapt because she has always been so attached to me. I was expecting that difficult settling-in period where children cry and want to stay at home after the first few days. To my surprise, my daughter has not cried at all and is genuinely excited every single day to go to nursery. That alone gave me so much reassurance as a parent. I would especially like to thank Fatma, Berivan, Hope, Karen, Fahrelle, Ayse, Silvia and all the staff for being so caring, kind, attentive and supportive. They always keep me updated and truly make both children and parents feel comfortable and welcomed. I honestly have no words to thank them enough for the care and support they have given my daughter and also me as a mum. I would definitely recommend Little Garden to any parent looking for a warm, caring and supportive environment for their child.
