Our local offer

Support for every child.

Brambles is an inclusive setting. Our SENCO works with families, key persons and outside professionals to make sure every child is supported to flourish.

everyone welcome

Our inclusive approach

Every child is seen, listened to, and planned for.

We believe every child has the right to learn through stimulating, fun experiences. Where a child needs additional support — whether long-term or just for a moment — we work in close partnership with the family to plan and deliver what they need.

Our support pathway

Six gentle steps, taken together.

  1. 1

    Observe

    Key persons watch closely — strengths, interests, what's challenging, what's changing.

  2. 2

    Listen

    We talk with parents and carers first. You know your child best — we start from there.

  3. 3

    Plan

    Our SENCO works with you, the key person and any professionals to write a clear, agreed plan.

  4. 4

    Support

    We adapt routines, resources and adult-led activities to make the plan real, every day.

  5. 5

    Review

    Regular conversations to see what's working, what to adjust, and what's next.

  6. 6

    Work together

    We share progress with the school your child is moving on to, and stay in touch through the transition.

Identifying additional needs

Concerns are taken seriously, early and gently.

If you have a concern about your child's development, talk to your key person or our SENCO. We can complete observations, discuss next steps with you and, where helpful, work with the local authority and visiting professionals (speech and language, health visitor, area SENCOs).

Accessibility

Our setting is built for inclusion.

  • Accessible toilet on-site
  • Adjustable tables in the rooms
  • Wide doors and ramped access at the entry
  • Quiet rest space in every room
  • We'll talk through any specific needs before your visit — please call ahead

Communication

Makaton / total communication.

Our staff use Makaton (a key word signing system) and a total-communication approach to support children who are pre-verbal, have a hearing impairment, or simply benefit from clearer multimodal communication.

Who to speak to

Start with your key person — or our SENCO.

Your child's key person is your first point of contact for everyday support and observations. For anything more involved, our SENCO will join the conversation. If you're new to Brambles and not sure who to talk to, the nursery managers (Amy or Laura) will point you the right way.
