The manager and special educational needs coordinator work together closely to ensure that all children's individual needs are met. They help staff and parents to develop support plans and work in good partnership with other professionals, when necessary. Additional funding is spent very effectively to make a difference for children. For example, children now enjoy a wider range of resources that inspire their imagination and encourage interaction with others. This has had a positive impact on their communication and language skills. Children speak confidently and fluently. Outdoor space The manager has identified the need to improve the outdoor space to extend the range of experiences for children who prefer to learn outdoors. The provider should extend opportunities for children to enjoy a wide variety of activities in all areas of learning, particularly for children who prefer to learn outdoors.
