Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The local springboard group often recommends the pre-school to parents needing childcare for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. This is because staff provide strong support, work highly effectively with outside agencies and the local opportunity group. The manager works directly with her staff, acts as a strong role model and provides important support, so children make the best progress they can.

Outdoor space

Staff know some children prefer to learn outdoors, and ensure that they have good opportunities to do so. Children learn to remove their shoes and put on their boots and coats to go outdoors.
