Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The provider, who is also the special educational needs coordinator, and her staff know the children well and actively monitor children where emerging developmental delays or concerns about potential special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) arise. They work closely with parents and other professionals to initiate support plans as soon as there is sufficient evidence to do so. Staff identify how, previously, they have used additional funding to support children with SEND and other identified needs to help them make the best possible progress before moving on to school.

Outdoor space

Older children use a measuring tape and 'hard hat' as they build on the climbing frame. Younger children enjoy cruising around the room, climbing on the climbing frame and looking at books.
