Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is strong. Staff tailor and sequence learning to help every child to build on their prior knowledge and make progress in their learning. Children with SEND have targeted support plans in place and staff know exactly what their individual targets are. Staff complete one-to-one sessions to help all children to fully access all aspects of the curriculum. All children with SEND are making good progress from their starting points and gaps are closing. The special educational needs coordinator and key persons are working closely with parents and the schools that children will be moving on to.

Outdoor space

Staff know the benefits of outdoor learning. They provide opportunities for children to learn about natural environments. Staff introduce enhancements into the curriculum, such as 'growing gardeners' and 'growing artists'. Children take responsibility for caring for a small allotment where they grow their own fruits, vegetables, herbs and wild flowers. They eagerly water their plants and measure them to see the growth.

I was picking up a friend's little boy. The staff there are very nice and professional. Her son loves it there. I can see why she chose it. Not that I know anything about nurseries unless they're the plant type 😉
