Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
When staff identify that children have gaps in their speech and language development, they take swift action to address concerns and seek additional support if required. This supports children to develop good communication and language skills.
Outdoor space
Children enjoy playing, both indoors and outdoors. Staff set up activities in all areas before the setting opens, ready for the day. Children can access the indoor and outdoor areas freely throughout the day. Staff support children in the garden to challenge themselves and participate fully in all the activities available.
