Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

This is particularly relevant for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Managers and staff work closely with external professionals to share information and work on set actions and targets for children. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Older children work together to transport buckets of water to a tray in the outside area, using watering cans and gardening tools. They also jump into the arms of a staff member while using a swing rope in the nursery garden. Staff promote healthy lifestyles for children, including growing their own vegetables in the nursery garden.
