Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are particularly well supported. Dedicated and determined managers make sure every child receives the support and resources they need. A thoughtfully planned outdoor activity supports a child's balance, confidence and independence skills.

Outdoor space

Well-resourced indoor and outdoor learning environments provide children with a wide variety of natural and interesting learning opportunities. Older children are skilfully supported outdoors to develop their interests through role play, excitedly creating a home and preparing food for 'hungry dinosaurs'.
