Inclusion & environment
Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress. The manager uses additional funding to support children's individual learning and care needs, including one-to-one support or specific resources and equipment. The manager liaises with external agencies to coordinate additional support for children with SEND, ensuring plans are in place to help them reach their full potential.
Children benefit from regular fresh air and exercise throughout the day. They enjoy playing on slides and walking on wooden stepping stones. Staff carry out regular risk assessments to ensure the indoor and outdoor environments are safe.
