Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. Staff are quick to identify children who may need support and seek advice from the nursery's special educational needs and/or disabilities coordinator (SENDCo). The setting works alongside other agencies, such as the local authority and health visitors, to help it to acquire any support that children need. Children with SEND achieve good outcomes.

Outdoor space

Children develop their hand-eye coordination as they plant vegetables. They develop their physical skills in the extensive outdoor areas which all children access daily.
