Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff provide an inclusive environment where older children are very kind and supportive to those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Managers monitor and adapt their practice to ensure all can access the provision equally. Outdoor space Staff have introduced larger climbing equipment and a varied terrain outdoors to challenge children's physical development. This has had a positive impact, enabling children to first negotiate climbing mounds before later managing bikes and scooters on them. Children become very agile and manage risks effectively, such as climbing to a height they feel confident with. ## Parent Reviews 4.2 (5) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocJURK-8lCMJwQGHtRUBwz3_4m-My3e55xCbqvXzu7iUN8nnbA=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Courtney a year ago My girl enjoys her time at nursery, amazing staff who care deeply for the children, always get lovely picture updates.
