Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff liaise with parents and other professionals, so that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the support they need. This ensures children with SEND make the best possible progress.

Outdoor space

Staff carefully plan interesting learning opportunities outdoors. Children enthusiastically wash the dolls and brush their teeth, recreating familiar scenarios from home; they investigate different smells and textures as they mix spices, herbs, and citrus fruit together to make 'soup'.

A fantastic nursery that truly cares about not only the wellbeing of each child but their self-development. Prior to this nursery, we had used a larger, well-known nursery chain. This came with a fast turnover of staff, poor care and hygiene, expensive rates, and no flexibility. This nursery was a breath of fresh air that became an extension of our child’s family. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

We had never left our son before. He never settled with anyone. Michelle and Bryn took their time in getting to know him and also supported us along the way with reassurance and understanding. Very family orientated and the children really do come first.

This review is about the "business" side of the nursery, rather than the care and education of the children. We are a supplier, and it took a few reminders to get payment, but it was all happily sorted out when I got hold of the right person at the nursery. I wish the nursery the best for the future.
