Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress. Staff identify gaps in learning quickly. Managers are consistent and persistent in getting swift and appropriate support for children, where needed. Work with parents and other professionals is strong.

Outdoor space

Managers and staff have prepared an ambitious learning environment, both indoors and out. Toddlers are delighted to go through tunnels and under bridges. They develop spatial awareness as they move around. Pre-school children use large blocks to build. They develop their large-muscle skills and hand-eye coordination as they pick up and carefully balance blocks with precision.

Our daughter has been at The Stables for a year now and we could not be happier with the care she receives. Her key worker Leonie is absolutely amazing and our daughter is always happy to go into nursery-never any tears at the door ❤️ We honestly cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Our son has been at the stables for 4 years and absolutely loves it, on many occasions he hasn’t wanted to come home! The nursery makes you feel welcomed and the staff take the time to get to know your child. The nursery put on so many fantastic events such as farms visiting, bug roadshows, themed days including the festivals plus much more. The parent partnership is fantastic, updates though the day, lots of stay and plays, special events such as bedtime stories, Christmas tree decorating, forest school sessions, parents prosecco evening. Couldn’t ask for a better nursery!

My son started at The Stables just over a month ago and we have had nothing but a positive experience so far. The staff are so friendly and experienced, they’ve been so supportive of my son and myself during this new transition. They make such an effort with the children and have different themes for the play every day and each day they ensure to target key developmental goals. I genuinely feel my son is being so well looked after in such a homely environment. He absolutely loves going here and he loves his key workers - Lisa and Molly, too! So happy we found such a wonderful nursery!
