Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The manager and the special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) are knowledgeable in their roles. They work closely with parents and other professionals to help children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Individual target plans are put in place to ensure that gaps in learning are lessened, enabling children to make good progress.

Outdoor space

There are many opportunities for children to develop their small- and large-muscle skills. For example, children enjoy prodding and poking play dough with different tools and confidently race around on balance bicycles outside. Staff encourage pre-school children to find bugs in the garden by using magnifying glasses, ticking them off on a chart as they find them.
