Proud to be an Inclusive Nursery

The Bolton Early Years Inclusion Quality Mark (IQA) is an accreditation system designed to recognise and promote inclusive practices in early years settings within Bolton.
We’re proud to have received the Bolton Early Years Inclusion Quality Mark (IQA) from the Bolton council, recognising our strong commitment to creating a truly inclusive and welcoming environment for every child.
This nationally recognised award celebrates our dedication to ensuring that all children—whatever their background, needs, or abilities—feel supported, valued, and given every opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
Achieving the IQA reflects the inclusive values at the heart of our nursery and the care we provide each day to support every child’s development, behaviour, and well-being.
