Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff give high priority to those children with special educational needs and or/disabilities and those with identified delays in their learning. These children are given support in their day-to-day learning to help them reach their full potential. Key persons work closely with these children and they speak regularly with the parents about their development. This helps to make sure all children are included and receive the support they need to make good progress.

Outdoor space

Babies enjoy playing in the mud kitchen outside. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the provider and staff make sure the children have daily opportunity to exercise and play outside to support them to develop a healthy lifestyle. Staff take children into the local area, such as to the beach, shops and a nearby woodland.
