Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well to make good progress and reach their full potential. The manager and staff work in close partnership with parents and other professionals to support children with SEND, sharing information and carefully considering how to include appropriate strategies into children's individual learning plans. Consequently, children with SEND benefit from highly effective support.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy being outdoors, where they have plenty of opportunities to be active and explore the environment. They take part in activities to help develop their physical skills, such as riding bicycles, participating in obstacle courses, and developing balance and coordination on climbing equipment.
