Staff form close links with parents and other professionals to ensure that assessment information is shared and individual education plans are agreed. The special educational needs coordinator implements one-to-one sessions with individual children to close gaps identified in their development, working closely with the child's key person, parents and other professionals to ensure support is in place for the child. Outdoor space Staff provide opportunities for children to engage in rigorous outdoor physical activities, where they show great enthusiasm and demonstrate good mobility, balance and coordination. Although staff encourage children to choose and lead their play, they do not consistently plan opportunities for them to manage tasks, such as putting on their own coat and wellies when going outside to play, to strengthen their independence.
