Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator supports the staff team effectively to ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive prompt and targeted early help and support. She works exceptionally well with parents and other professionals to create individual learning plans to close any gaps in children's learning.

Outdoor space

Children pay in the mud kitchen and talk about the pies which they have made. With staff's support, they turn the large outdoor tyre into a pirate ship and become pirates. Staff have recently developed the outdoor area for children to grow vegetables and fruit, which they use during cooking activities.
