Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff often take small groups of children to the sensory room, where they can explore different textures and lights. They use this room to provide support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities if they require one-to-one care for small periods of time.

Outdoor space

Children develop good physical skills through a range of activities, both indoors and outdoors. In the garden, children work together to place planks of wood on crates to make balance beams and grow their own fruit and vegetables, learning about their life cycle and how to care for them.
