Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress from their starting points. The special educational needs and/or disabilities coordinator (SENDCo) works closely with families and other professionals. She is knowledgeable and has recently completed extensive SENDCo training. She diligently uses her new skills to ensure staff provide effective support to children that is closely linked to their needs.

Outdoor space

Babies explore with the help of staff in their cosy outdoor area. Older children eagerly hunt for spiders in the outdoor area and carefully watch them spin their webs. The manager has redeveloped the outdoor learning area with new age-appropriate zones and resources.
