Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well-supported. Regular assessments of children's development are undertaken to identify any gaps or delays. The manager works closely with parents and other professionals to provide children with the support they need to succeed at the nursery.
Outdoor space
Children have plenty of opportunities to develop their physical skills. Outdoors, children confidently use a seesaw with their friends and practise their balancing skills to walk across planks raised slightly above the ground. Older children delight in joining in with yoga, following instructions to move their bodies into the correct positions and holding stretches.
