Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Leaders and staff use additional funding effectively to ensure that disadvantaged children receive the support they need. Through regular observations, staff identify areas where some children require additional support, such as emotional development. Staff skilfully implement strategies to help these children understand and express their feelings. Outdoor space Staff recognise the importance of offering all children a wide variety of activities to practise their physical skills. For instance, children enjoy riding trikes, balancing on beams and climbing on slides. They confidently navigate these tasks with little support. ## Parent Reviews of Cygnet Nursery 4.5 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjUsp-9tFmV8oJIWI1dlC-l9xSxC5wKlaMF-vAQUrJ3Vxcdbfwk=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba4) Dan Q 8 years ago Loving, friendly staff provide a great environment for fun and development for babies through preschoolers.
