Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Support for children with SEND is a particular strength of the nursery. Staff sensitively meet the individual needs of children, with respect and kindness. They recognise when children need focused one-to-one time and when they are able to cope independently in group situations. The special educational needs coordinator and manager work well with other professionals and parents, meaning children benefit from early intervention and any gaps in their learning are closing.

Outdoor space

Older children learn to negotiate space outdoors as they ride on wheeled toys.

My child is in this nursery, but it's a very bad nursery and they don't care about the children regularly. My child wets and defecates in his clothes, and when I talk to the staff, they ignore me. I hope they improve their services.

Amazing Nursery, my little girl loves it there and has come more out of her shell since starting. Highly recommend!
