Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision The curriculum supports the development of all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with high expectations for what every child can achieve. Staff have high expectations for children with SEND and work closely with other professionals to assess, plan and support development, ensuring they receive the right help at the right time and make good progress from their individual starting points. Outdoor space Children enjoy outdoor play with ride-on toys in the open spaces. While overall children are well supported to develop independence and self-care skills, at times staff are too quick to assist younger or newer children, limiting their opportunities to build these skills.
