Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support in place for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is excellent. Leaders ensure barriers to learning are removed and links with external professionals are effective. Individual learning plans are in place, and these are monitored with rigour to ensure all children make good progress.

Outdoor space

Children show excellent large-muscle skills as they ride scooters, play ring games and take part in races. Older children enjoy exploring water and help each other to search for 'treasure' in the sand. They excitedly talk about a visit to the local park.

Every mum is nervous to send her child to nursery, but for this place I can honestly say the transition you have to do for your child from home to a nursery is well supported by all members of staff. My child here is loved and cared for so much that when I drop my child he puts his arms out to the the staff ready to take him. I’m updated always with pics of my son. He loves to play and there is alot they do with the children. Bubbles, sensory, walks in the pram! Everything. I’m so grateful for this nursery who really do take care of the children. Also when mums start to worry the reassurance they give is really good. The communication with parents is excellent. They have time for you, your child, and everything they say and do makes the most sense. Love the staff here always happy smiling! Oh and what I love is the nursery wear indoor slippers , so no germs from outside shoes!! As we know outside shoes carry the most germs !!

I was very anxious leaving my youngest as she was a very clingy child. After a week she happily walked in to nursery and talked about going in. The staff are very supportive and helpful. I can contact staff and ask how my little one is doing through out the day which eases any worries I have. Highly recommend Yaqadoodle.

My daughter joined Yaqadoodle earlier this year, she absolutely loves her nursery days and looks forward to seeing the staff. Asiya and all the girls are amazing - everyone is really approachable and friendly, the family-like environment has been perfect for my daughter and we couldn’t be happier!
