Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Leaders involve other professionals to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff implement targeted plans to help meet the needs of these children. They use additional funding well to help improve outcomes for children. Children with SEND make good progress from their starting points.
Outdoor space
Before outdoor play, children demonstrate growing independence when getting their own shoes and coats on.

I've had a really positive experience with the Litte Wishes nursery on Droitwich Road. All the staff are friendly and take a positive interest in the children. They regularly feedback on what your child has been doing during the day and welcome discussions with parents to help support the children's learning and development. They are also very observant and are quick to spot when a child is unwell and needs to see a GP. They have a full and varied menu that is also nutritious and provide plenty of different activities including singing, sensory play, outdoor play and crafts. My child loves it there and is always full of smiles and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day! I can't recommend them highly enough.

I can’t recommend Little Nursery enough,both of my children have attended from the age of 9 months. My older child was so well prepared and ready for school, and he also built such a strong bond with his friends during those important early years and friendships that have continued into primary school. Now my youngest absolutely loves going every single day. I honestly can’t thank the staff enough for everything they do. They are caring, supportive, and truly amazing. A huge thank you to the whole team!❤️🥹

My son has been attending since he was 10 months old which was daunting for all of us! He absolutely loved it from day one. He's four now and we've never had any issues. The staff are lovely, they clearly care and nurture the children. My son has thrived here, gaining huge amounts of confidence and just loves nursery. It'll be sad to say goodbye in September. Would recommend this nursery to anybody!
