Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive excellent support. Staff quickly identify concerns and work with other professionals, such as health visitors and speech and language therapists, to secure early intervention so children make excellent progress.

Outdoor space

Children routinely go outside and are highly independent in preparing for outdoor play; for example, they put on rain suits and wellington boots when going outside.

EAL / language support

Children who speak English as an additional language develop their understanding quickly; staff use key vocabulary from children's home languages to enhance their English.
