We can accommodate 24 children each morning session. We are equipped to offer all areas of learning and includes provision for children who have special educational needs. We offer an inclusive environment for children to enjoy and thrive. Our SENCo has had experience supporting children with a range of additional needs and working alongside professionals supporting these children.
All staff are qualified to at least level 3 in childcare and education. All staff have experience and knowledge of caring for and educating all children and supporting parents. All staff are qualified in first aid and attend a variety of courses to update their knowledge and experience in supporting children. Staff also attend regular safeguarding courses and meetings and the co-ordinator is the named Safeguarding Officer.
Our nursery has no secure outdoor space for the children to play in, however, we make the most of the outdoors by exploring the surrounding area. We have a large indoor area for physical development. We have close connections to the local care home. Snacks are prepared on premises and the nursery promotes healthy choices. Water is available all day and milk offered at snack time.
We achieved 'Good' from Ofsted in September 2018.

Local Offer
- Local Offer description
We welcome all children regardless of additional needs. We currently look after a child with physical disabilities who receives one to one support. In the past, we have looked after children on the autism spectrum.
We have adapted and received training to ensure we can cater for some complex needs, this has included, epilepsy training, epi-pen training and we have implemented PECs.
Staff work closely with speech and language therapists, portage as well as many other professionals to ensure that we are a truly inclusive setting.
Training is an ongoing process and is reviewed periodically or when we are aware of any changes to a child's needs.
