Gradual introductions during routines, such as snack time, help children with SEND to tolerate others and socialise more freely. Outdoor space Water play is now contained within smaller areas and mainly outdoors to reduce the risk of slips and falls. Staff provide active sessions and support children to remain active, which builds on their good physical skills.
