Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive targeted interventions to address any gaps in their language development. The setting invites teachers into the nursery and holds meetings to consider how best to support children, including those with SEND, when they transfer to schools.
Outdoor space
Children love to be active outdoors in the fresh air. Their physical development is supported very well. They are provided with fun and challenging activities to promote their fine and gross motor skills. Opportunities for climbing and balancing on assault courses strengthen children's core muscles, as well as enhance their physical and mental well-being.

My twins have been attending this nursery for 6 months now, and we couldn't be happier. The staff are incredibly supportive, caring, and always make sure the children feel safe and happy. We've seen great progress in our kids’ development, and they genuinely enjoy going each day. Highly recommended!

Excellent nursery. Both my granddaughters have attended, the youngest just left ready for primary school. I truly believe that Roop and all her staff have given them both the best start in their school life. They have had so much fun at Wee Ones, lots of trips to the library, train rides, godstone farm and lots more. They both learnt their numbers and letters and how to share and socialise. I’m truly grateful to them all, lovely, caring professionals. They’ve definitely shaped my granddaughter’s growth.

Excellent care, staff are well trained and know and care about each individual child in the centre. They do lots of activities both in the centre and trips within the community. I know our little is well taken care of, she loves the environment and all that she gets to do.

Caring, fun, creative and convenient. I can't speak highly enough of Wee Ones and the amazing start in life they have given my two daughters. Day trips to Godstone Farm, visiting the train station or simply playing in the garden, both girls have loved every minute and grown their skills and confidence.
