Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. The special educational needs coordinator closely monitors children who require extra support and implements individual learning strategies. She works with parents and outside agencies, such as the speech therapist, to help meet their individual needs.

Outdoor space

Children happily enter this inviting pre-school and quickly settle into the routines of the day. Staff provide daily access to the large garden. Children learn to balance safely along planks and move across large stumps. They balance on the equipment and delight in taking risks as they jump off. Children thoroughly enjoy splashing and jumping in muddy puddles. They scream with excitement as the water splashes their faces. Staff use this opportunity to introduce early mathematical language. They encourage children to make footprints. The children and staff compare the sizes of the different prints.

Charles Booth is nothing short of amazing and we are so glad we moved our son when it first opened. He thoroughly enjoys himself and the staff are so warm, friendly and genuinely care about the children. Highly recommended!
