Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Support for children who may have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is good. Regular evaluation of the progress that children make ensures any gaps in learning are swiftly identified, ensuring early intervention is sought and children make good progress from their starting points. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy lots of fresh air outdoors. A newly built planting area means children learn how fruit and vegetables grow.

Can’t recommend this nursery enough, my 3 year old settled in so well always get to see the same faces when I pick him up which I love. Kitty and Chloe have been amazing with my boy and Jasmine always replies to my messages so quickly and keeps me updated.

I honestly can't recommend this nursery enough. We had a look at a few others around the area and previously trialed one near us which didn't go down so well and upset my son for months! I'm so thankful to the team who have all helped to ease my 2 year old in which seemed like an impossible task at the start. Credit to the management team on how well they manage this nursery and accommodate new starters. Jasmine's so professional and welcoming. Ofcourse a team is no good without dedicated staff. Honestly, all the staff are so lovely but can't help but mention Kitty. Don't think my boy would have settled so well if it wasn't for her. Thank you so so much.

Our daughter started when she was around 8 months old and has come on leaps and bounds since starting. The team in the tiny tots room are nothing short of amazing. We really couldn’t recommend this nursery enough. There’s nothing better than knowing your child is getting the best care & we haven’t felt any different since the day she started!

My daughter started this nursery back in April and she loves being here. The staff are friendly and supportive. The nursery follow the EYFS and they do a lot more activities than standard nurseries I think. I think there could be a bit more communication on the baby days app and newsletters up so parents are aware of events taking place or messages on the baby days app would be great. Other than that it is a good nursery so thank you Timbertree neighbourhood staff for giving my daughter a great experience with pre school which will support her when it’s time for transition to nursery and reception.
