What it's like

Children thrive in this nursery and make good progress from their individual starting points. Their emotional well-being is given high priority and, as a result, they are happy and settle quickly to their chosen activity. Following a period of lockdown, due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, staff have identified weaknesses in children's communication, language, personal and social skills, which has been a prime focus of the nursery curriculum.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Following a period of lockdown, due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, staff have identified weaknesses in children's communication, language, personal and social skills. Consequently, this has been a prime focus of the nursery curriculum. Activities are planned around children's individual interests and learning styles.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy the time they spend outdoors. They search for spiders and try to give them a drink of water because it is hot. Children develop their physical skills. They ride tricycles with dexterity and carefully negotiate obstacles. They confidently climb and balance on large equipment and can catch and throw a ball.

EAL / language support

Many of the children who attend speak English as an additional language. Staff use different initiatives to assess and enhance children's communication skills. They have introduced trips to the library and book bags to encourage parents to read to their children at home. Staff communicate with children at their individual level. However, sometimes, they do not use the correct pronunciation of words to fully support children's understanding of language. Parents who speak English as an additional language are offered support to complete forms.
