Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
The manager uses additional funding effectively, for example, money is spent on staffing to arrange for some children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, to be taken for visits to the school they will be moving on to. This helps children to become familiar with the school environment and the teachers before they move on.
Outdoor space
The inspector observed the quality of education during activities, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this has on children's learning.

Amazing nursery with kind, caring staff who really go above and beyond to ensure every child is looked after, included and cared for. We sent both of our children here and they loved their carers, the activities and the setting. The nursery puts the safety and wellbeing of children first, and are fully committed to giving them a fantastic start to life through interaction and kindness. Thank you all so much!

The most beautiful nursery we could have hoped for for our little boy. The staff are all so kind and caring, there is always a warm welcome at the start and end of the day. The attention to detail from the carers is amazing, always sending updates and detailed diary entries via the app. For any new parents looking for local nurseries, add this to the top of your list!
