Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Staff make every effort to use funding to include children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) in all learning opportunities. For example, they purchase specialist outdoor equipment to promote activities that develop mobility skills. This means children with SEND do not miss out on any fun or learning, and make the best progress they can.
Outdoor space
The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.

Staff are warm and excellent with the children. Fees have risen 40% in four years, with routine increases close to 10% each April, these rises are well above inflation and significantly increase the cost of attendance. Consider the financial impact before enrolling.

My son attended here for over a year and it was the best thing I could have done for him after having had problems at other nurseries. They're considerate and always willing to help educate your child to the best of that individuals abilities.
