Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make particularly good progress. This is because leaders place a high priority on providing the appropriate support that children need to make the progress they are capable of. Reports and feedback are especially detailed for children with SEND, which helps to engage parents in targets and next steps. Outdoor space Children have the opportunity to practise their early writing in their play. They draw on large drawing boards in the garden, make marks in foam with brushes, and scribe in notebooks. ## Parent Reviews of Cavendish Pre-school 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLmDqby81EKYbB5Cpe8O8OUcTtAZVMenW7YCA0oys4zZEwTvg=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Gemma Hubbard a year ago My daughter loves going to the preschool, the staff are so welcoming and friendly.
