Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Managers and staff work closely with parents and external agencies to provide tailored support to children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. This collaborative approach ensures children's individual needs are met effectively.

Outdoor space

Leaders have strengthened staff's planning of outdoor mark-making activities. This now supports children who prefer to learn outside to develop their early writing skills effectively. Overall, children show confidence using wheeled toys and climbing equipment. However, children have limited access to opportunities that extend their gross motor skills. This impacts on their development in building strength, balance and resilience further.
