Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

Outdoor space

Older children take turns to wear a high-visibility jacket and take their pen and clipboard to conduct their own risk assessment of the outdoor play area, becoming increasingly aware of how to keep themselves and others safe when playing outside.

My daughter has spent the last 3 years here and today was her last day! This is such a lovely nursery and I’m glad we chose it, all the staff in the rooms are amazing and they will love your child as much as you do! Dominique always goes above and beyond for everyone and is always so polite! We will miss everyone and cherish the relationships my daughter built! Thank you everyone for everything ❤️

Me and my wife couldn't recommend this nursery enough. We had to move our daughter here for her final 2 years of nursery after her original one closed unexpectedly. Since moving here her learning and development came on in leaps and bounds. She absolutly loved it from day one and has made lots of new friends, both little and big. All the staff are amazing and a credit to Yewlands.

Absolutely amazing place. Our original nursery closed and we had to find somewhere else. It turned out to be such a lucky thing it did as our daughter progressed so quickly at Yewland. The outdoor area is huge which we were so pleased to see with the kids having so much fun. The staff are just lovely. It really feels like a place where people care and put kindness and compassion first. I love the diversity in the staff and how all of them seem to know a second language that our daughter comes home having learnt. Since going to Yewland she gets excited to learn which has been lovely. They use an app to share daily events which means we get pictures of every day, videos of fun activities and a description of what they’ve learnt today. It really makes me feel closer to what she’s been up to so I don’t feel I’m missing a big part of her life. Very thankful to have such a great place for my daughter to start.
