Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities enjoy their time at the nursery. Staff know all of the children well and are aware of what areas children need more support with. While children who need additional support currently receive this, further work and training is needed to ensure that the support on offer is identified and implemented even more swiftly to minimise delays to the help children receive.

Outdoor space

Outdoor learning opportunities are carefully considered for toddlers and pre-school children. Staff plan activities based on children's interests and use what they know about children to provide engaging learning opportunities outside. However, provision outdoors for babies is currently not as strong.
