Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive very good levels of care. They take part in a wide range of learning opportunities carefully tailored to their individual needs, alongside their peers. There are good arrangements to support children with SEND. Regular meetings between professionals, parents and staff help to provide consistency in children's care and development. Staff access specialist mobility equipment and know what next steps to work on. The manager and staff make good use of additional funding to purchase resources and equipment to help support children's development, including those with SEND. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Outdoor space

Babies enjoy playing outside in the fresh snow. Staff dress them warmly in cosy snowsuits and boots. Once back inside, staff provide babies with a messy play activity using dry flour to mimic the snow.
