Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff are prompt to identify any delays in children's learning. The special educational needs and/or disabilities coordinator provides swift intervention by creating individual support plans for any children with gaps in their development. They work with external agencies to help children to gain any extra support that they may need. This means that all children are supported to make the progress that they are capable of.

Outdoor space

Even the youngest children show confidence in walking down steps to access the garden, while holding a staff member's hand and a rail to ensure their safety. The inspector observed the quality of teaching indoors and outdoors to assess the impact of this on children's learning.
