Inspection #10293574 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50244683) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff have a good knowledge of children's individual learning needs, including those who may need some extra support. When children need extra support, staff put in place specific targets, support and resources to help them to progress. They use and teach all children Makaton signing along with visual timetables. This supports all children to communicate and gain understanding, such as knowing what happens during the daily routine. In addition, staff provide resources that reflect children's backgrounds, such as books in the languages children speak at home. Outdoor space Children develop their large and small physical skills effectively. For example, children confidently rode two-wheeled bikes with stabilisers outside and negotiated different levels of an obstacle course.
