Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress in their development. Staff quickly identify when children's progress does not meet expectations and work in partnership with other professionals to develop plans for support, providing consistent and well-targeted support. When children are non-verbal, staff find multiple ways to encourage them to express themselves and their needs.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed curriculum implementation during activities, indoors and outdoors. Staff are not swift in washing children's dirty hands when they have been playing outdoors. Young children are not learning about reducing risks to their health, especially when they still explore the world by putting things in their mouths.

The happiest place ever! My LO has been attending for a year and she is so happy! Her development is coming along brilliantly. The staff and management is very good with communication and friendly. Particularly during this year (2020), they have been absolutely amazing at keeping us informed and organising themselves to meet the guidelines. They have been transparent with their plans and gave parents plenty of notice of changes (even with the gov keeps making last changes). Highly recommended!
