Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a real strength of the nursery. The dedicated person responsible for children with SEND works closely with other professionals and uses extra funding to provide additional sessions and one-to-one support, resulting in children with SEND making good progress.

Outdoor space

Children are confident in their physical development. Older children use their gross motor skills to climb over the bridge in the garden. Staff complete risk assessments of the nursery environment, both indoors and outdoors, and encourage children to help identify risks, such as potential hazards when going outside.

Can't fault! My little boy was here for 18months and my little girl has just started. Every single member of staff are so friendly and welcoming. They really take pride in looking after the children. Management go above and beyond to help in anyway that they can. Would recommend to anyone x

The nursery is great. Not in the most obvious location but don't let that put you off. All staff know each child and are always so welcoming. Would recommend to all without hesitation.
