Inspection #10295312 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50235733) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Partnerships with other professionals are strong. For example, staff are quick to refer children to other agencies if they need further support, such as the speech and language therapist. As children prepare to start school, teachers are invited into the setting to observe children and talk with staff about their developmental needs. This helps children to settle more readily as they move to school. Outdoor space Staff promote children's independence and physical skills. Children listen carefully to instructions as they help to tidy up and put their coats on for outdoor play. Staff undertake risk assessments, which support children's safety and well-being. For example, they consider if a wooden decked area is safe to use during the winter months. Children are beginning to take risks and think about their own personal safety. For example, they independently consider how far they can climb up on a climbing frame.
