Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

For children with particular needs, such as those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, the manager works with staff to adapt their teaching and provision. This supports staff in meeting the individual needs of the children.

Outdoor space

Children learn about healthy lifestyles through a range of opportunities for physically active play, both inside and outside. They discover and explore their skills when climbing, crawling and balancing and learn about managing risk when they negotiate how to jump down from low-level platforms.
