The nursery is dedicated to fostering a calm and supportive atmosphere where children can thrive in a relaxed setting. They provide a diverse range of engaging and stimulating play activities, both indoors and outdoors, designed to encourage learning and growth. The staff are highly trained and committed to offering children the best possible opportunities for development from 2 to 5 years old. The nursery operates 48 weeks a year, Monday to Friday, from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM. What it's like Staff provide children with a richly resourced and stimulating learning environment that inspires them to get actively involved and explore. Children demonstrate exceptional attitudes to their learning. They play cooperatively and are excellent communicators, successfully negotiating with each other as they play.

Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff provide exceptional support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They very swiftly identify where children need support and quickly put this into action, working in partnership with external professionals for a cohesive approach. Precise and highly individualised teaching enables children with SEND to make excellent progress. Outdoor space Children set themselves the challenge of reaching the branches of the tree outdoors, showing determination and resilience as they tie knots in ropes and climb safely. They also have opportunities to take part in forest school and beach school sessions, where they learn in very different and challenging environments. ## Parent Reviews of Welcome House Day Nursery 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLAeFckAMpnukH_NImYHcDJjfyozMvzZGFmhWEd706CcLkt7Q=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba2) Martin P 2 years ago My daughter finished nursery this year, and my son finished a couple of years ago.
