Shine - supporting children & young people with additional needs and their families

Our Nursery

Our Inclusive Nursery provides high-quality care, play and early learning for children aged 2 to 4 years during term time. Designed for a wide range of needs and abilities, our nursery offers a bright, nurturing environment where every child can explore, grow and feel confident.

A Nurturing, Inclusive Early Years Environment

Children learn best when they feel safe, supported and valued. At Shine, we offer full early education in a fun, secure and stimulating setting. Our two large, well-equipped rooms and spacious outdoor areas are carefully designed to promote:
Curiosity and exploration
Independent play
Communication and social skills
Emotional development
Early learning foundations
Every day is filled with opportunities to play, discover and build confidence.

Supporting Every Child as an Individual

Every child is unique - and so is the support they receive at Shine. Our experienced nursery team specialises in working with children who have additional needs. We build strong, positive partnerships with:
Famillies
External Agencies
Specialist Therapists
This joined-up approach ensures that each child receives consistent support, tailored to their needs, interests and strengths. Our goal is for every child to feel:
Understood
Celebrated
Safe
Ready to learn at their own pace

The Thrive Approach

Shine Nursery embeds The Thrive Approach, ensuring that emotional & social wellbeing sits at the heart of everything we do.

Through everyday interactions, small-group sessions and meaningful experiences, we help children:
Recognise and express emotions
Build self-esteem and resilience
Develop self-regulation skills
Form strong relationships
Grow into confident, curious learners
We create positive early experiences because these moments shape a child's future wellbeing, motivation and sense of self.
