Staff work tirelessly with other agencies to ensure children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive the education they are entitled to.

Outdoor space

Children's physical development is promoted well, inside and outdoors. They crawl on ramps and into cubby holes. Rooms and outdoor areas are risk assessed daily and are well maintained and safe.
