Staff form close relationships with children with SEND and know them very well. However, the implementation of strategies to support all children's unique needs is not always consistent and staff do not always fully enhance children's learning experiences. Outdoor space The report mentions the inspector observed the quality of education provided, "indoors and outdoors," but does not provide specifics about how children use outdoor space or physical play. ## Parent Reviews of The Red House Nursery 3.7 (6) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjWdj9O4bOYTgfzffqImFZk13PfnSj_WNqJWt2cHpM3Wl4AMHdA=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba2) Mr Z a year ago Booked a appointment with Sarah for 10 o’clock to be shown around the premises but when i got there i was told that she didn’t book any appointment and there’s no placements left till next year could of told me over the phone when i was calling the nursery.
