Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those requiring additional help are closely supported. The manager and key staff, such as the special educational needs coordinator, prioritise working with other professionals to get children the support they need. They lead staff in identifying and implementing interventions to enable children to achieve their potential.
Outdoor space
Managers are particularly mindful of children who prefer to learn and explore outside, and good use is made of all areas. Children enjoy using the challenging bike obstacle course on the pre-school patio, making sand and water mixes in the extended sandpit, and playing imaginatively in the covered area. Staff regularly take children out to adjacent fields and a play park to further build their physical skills.
