Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is good. Staff know children well and put individual plans in place to support their progress. This helps children with SEND to make good progress in their learning.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy lots of time outside using large equipment. In the garden area, they negotiate a nature area with a steep slope and climb a large slide. Older children skilfully run down hills and use a large slide outside.

My son has been going to the nursery since he was 11 months old, and I’ve taken him to baby classes and stay and plays since he was 3 weeks old! All the teams are caring, supportive and absolutely brilliant with the kids! They get creative, messy, play outside and he’s made some really lovely friends! I really recommend this nursery and children’s centre!
