Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Outdoor space

Children have daily access to outdoor play where they develop muscle strength and coordination, for example toddlers push dolls up a grassy bank and pre-school children use scooters and navigate large equipment. However, staff do not always plan and provide the same level of rich learning experiences outdoors, so some children do not fully engage in outdoor play.
