Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
The provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a strength. The extremely knowledgeable SEND coordinator is deeply committed to working in partnership with any outside agencies involved in the care and development of children. Children quickly get the individual support they need to make good progress over time.
Outdoor space
Staff offer children a full range of carefully planned learning opportunities indoors, but do not consistently give the same consideration to opportunities outdoors, which are less well established. This means that at times, children who prefer to learn in the outdoors are not as well supported.
