Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff have a good knowledge of children's needs and work closely with parents to support those children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). However, at times, staff are not confident in promptly implementing strategies to support children in regulating their emotions, which means the needs of some children with SEND are not consistently met in a timely manner. Outdoor space Staff support pre-school children to explore large cardboard boxes in the outside area, using chalks to draw on the boxes and on the ground. Children choose whether to play indoors or outside, and staff offer a wide range of activities for them to engage in. ## Parent Reviews of Bright Horizons North Baddesley Day Nursery and Preschool 5.0 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjVUF99FTPJFGezev6greKU1i7xfQ_ABgyvq7WMgEvYsINERBT02=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba4) Steve Bolton 2 years ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUR4N3FxRHNnRRAB!2m1!1s0x487474e650bb7a27:0xc6bf879fb4a82f07) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLhrAWHPS3cDEYI2OvNkpWlK77PxU92ByrkbI88c2U7F7trig=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba4) James Messenger 3 years ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUN4MWN6ZFNnEAE!2m1!1s0x487474e650bb7a27:0xc6bf879fb4a82f07) Reviews from Google for Bright Horizons North Baddesley Day Nursery and Preschool.
