Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children who require additional support are quickly identified. The special educational needs coordinator liaises closely with parents and other agencies to provide appropriate support for children and their families. The managers and staff follow targeted plans and use additional funding effectively to help children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make the best possible progress in their learning.

Outdoor space

After finding worms and slugs in the garden, staff help children to create an insect house and talk about how worms live underground. This supports children in their understanding of the world.
