Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are superbly supported. Consistent tracking and evaluation mean that staff are very quick to identify gaps in children's learning, actively developing strategies, talking with parents, and making timely referrals to other professionals to reduce any gaps in learning.
Children collect sticks from the outdoor area and place them in height order, learning mathematical language such as 'tall', 'taller' and 'tallest'. Other children use magnifying glasses to look at a selection of leaves and woodland berries they collected on a walk.
