Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those who face disadvantage or barriers to their learning, such as children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from a highly inclusive curriculum that supports their individual needs effectively. Staff know children extremely well and adapt their teaching successfully to help all children make the best possible progress. Highly effective systems help staff to identify and assess children's development accurately. Staff work effectively with parents and other professionals, where appropriate, to ensure that concerns are addressed swiftly. This enables targeted interventions to be introduced at the earliest opportunity and helps reduce potential barriers to learning.

Outdoor space

Children are physically confident and relish opportunities to explore the outdoor environment with energy, curiosity and enthusiasm. Children benefit from extensive outdoor play opportunities and regular outings within the local community, which broaden their experiences and understanding of the world around them.

EAL / language support

Staff proactively gather key words and phrases from parents in children's home languages to support children's understanding of routines and daily experiences. They also use signs and visual prompts to support more effective communication strategies.

The nursery is lovely, the staff are very understanding. I had my boy in there from 6 months till 20 months. Management are lovely and easy to get along with. They try to solve problems as soon as possible. They are able to meet my child’s individual needs and help him to prepare for a new sibling. I really appreciate how much this nursery has done for my son. The staff are caring.

My nephew attended this nursery. I did pick ups/collection for him and i always had good feedback on collection. Staff and management were really friendly and supportive with potty training and encouraged learning. My nephew always enjoyed going to nursery and it has been a great first step into education for him.
