Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are very well supported. Additional funding is used effectively to support children to make the best possible progress, for example, by deploying a member of staff as one-to-one support. Staff are vigilant, recognise signs that children are getting stressed, and use pictorial clues well to help children make choices or anticipate changes in routines. Outdoor space Older children talk confidently about risks in the outdoor area, such as slipping in the mud. Staff teach children how to keep themselves safe and involve children in the risk assessments of the outdoor area. ## Parent Reviews of Cleadon Tower Nursery 5.0 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocK9-b2Ux0hMLu21fdKgr_muCf6Ct8X0mnmh86Kz7L4IVJOzQg=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) kelly crowther 6 years ago A very welcoming, fun and caring nursery with lovely staff who go above and beyond to care for your child.
