Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

This supports all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who speak English as an additional language, to make good progress from their starting points. The support for children with SEND is very strong. Staff work in close partnership with parents and other professionals to put targeted support in place at the earliest opportunity. Staff are consistent in ensuring that each child's individual needs are considered in the organisation of routines and activities. Additional funding is used wisely for intended children to meet their individual needs and prepare them for future learning.

Outdoor space

On occasion, not all children are fully supported in following their curiosities during play to build their skills even further. For example, when painting outside, children request to paint on the floor in the play area. Staff do not follow children's curiosity as a way to extend and build on the activity to increase children's learning opportunities.
