Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make excellent progress. Skilled staff work closely with parents and other professionals to find out what children know and can do, and plan exciting activities that develop their social and communication skills. The local outreach service visits to support children with SEND, and information is shared with local services to support families and help children to make the best possible progress.

Outdoor space

Toddlers and pre-school children play together in the garden, taking turns. They delight as they say 'three, two, one... go' and press the pump to see the water spray out.

Just been reading emails from the owner refusing to give a breakdown of fees to a customer. Very unprofessional. Strikes me they might have something to hide

Hands down the nicest placement I've stepped foot into, My daughter has been right through this nursery from enhanced provision to the more Neurotypical areas! I have never ever encountered such empathetic, caring and down to earth staff!! My child has flourished and is Happy every single day going to Nursery, they provide care to her that is second to none. I would recommend this Nursery to anyone wanting that home from home care, nothing is too much and the communication and feedback is just first class.
