Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children's language is developing well, considering that many of them speak or hear other languages at home or have additional needs. Staff discuss ways to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, and work with multi-agency staff.

Outdoor space

Children have plenty of opportunities to be physically active. For example, outdoors, children use wheeled-toys, jump and balance and kick and throw balls. Toddlers show their delight when digging outside with the mud and sand, or carefully bathing their babies in the water tray.
