Those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress. Staff support their learning extremely well and ensure their individual needs are consistently met. They tailor their teaching to ensure children with SEND receive focused support for their next steps in learning. For instance, staff offer those children with SEND regular opportunities to work in a quiet space and focus on sensory play. This helps children to reach their next steps in development. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND. Outdoor space Staff plan exciting and engaging experiences for children. As a result, children have endearing positive attitudes to play and learning. For instance, they engage for long periods of time pretending to act out a familiar story in the garden. They have binoculars and enjoy dressing as the characters, such as little pigs. Staff carry out daily risk assessments to ensure the environment is safe. For example, they check for broken toys or foreign objects in the garden before children go out. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.
