Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
All children, including those with special educational needs/and or disabilities (SEND), make excellent progress from their starting points. The manager and staff develop the provision to meet the individual needs of children. Further speech and language activities purchased support children with communication and language development.
Outdoor space
Children confidently leave their parents and immediately engage in purposeful play. Inviting opportunities, both indoors and outdoors, engage children's interest. For example, children make potions in the outdoor area, expertly pouring and measuring their 'soup'.
