Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), progress well and form close bonds with staff. The SENCo monitors children's progress carefully and involves outside agencies if children are not meeting their development milestones, proactively tailoring learning experiences for each child, including opportunities for a greater adult-to-child ratio.

Outdoor space

Children have access to a variety of large outdoor areas. Pre-school children choose whether to play indoors or outdoors, using the space and open-ended resources to develop play ideas, such as building obstacle courses and digging holes. Staff supervise babies well as they play outdoors.

My 3 year old child settled very quickly and has alot of support from his teachers, he absolutely loves it there and is very happy and comfortable, staff are great very good communication, understanding, patience and trustworthy, always organised with updates of my child throughout the day. He has improved alot more since attending this nursery and im happy with his progress and their care plan/observations. Makes me feel more comfortable and confident that my son is safe there. Nursery is amazing enough staff and big enough for children to explore. Nursery is very spacious and clean. Highly recommend

My son absolutely loves this nursery — and as a parent, that’s the best feeling in the world! The staff are truly wonderful, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the children. I see it every day in the way my son rushes in excitedly and runs to hug his carers. Special thanks to Freya, Haydon, and Charlotte for always going the extra mile — your warmth and patience shine through. And of course, Wendy, the manager, deserves a big shout-out too! She runs the place like a true cowgirl leading her ranch — calm, confident, and always keeping everything and everyone right on track. It’s such a comfort knowing my little one is in such caring hands. I couldn’t recommend this nursery highly enough!

Amazing nursery with great staff. My daughter moved here about 7 months ago and settled in instantly. The manager Wendi is phenomenal and the whole team are great, caring and informative about what’s happened with your child during the day. I have no concerns at all about leaving my daughter here for the day and she is always full of good things to say about her days there. Highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has been at this nursery for 1.5 years and she loves it so much. She is happy at drop off, and for a child that has separation anxiety that's a lot to say. Wendi the manager and the staff in her room always go above and beyond to make her happy to accommodate us parents when we need it. We always highly recommend it to our friends.

My children have been going to the nursery for 2 years I can't fault the staff they have all been very helpful with any problems I have had with my children. I have also seen my children come on so much seen being at the nursery they loving going there they have a large range of activities that the kids love doing and coming home to tell me what they have done in the day. The staff are all very friendly and easy to talk to. The manager and reception staff will help me understand any problems I'm having with funding or bills even generally questions for example apply for schools. the nursery is very clean and looking amazing after the refurbishment I'm so excited to see what else is to come. They have a great variation of outdoor play areas which is loved by my children. I would highly recommend the nursery.
