Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) progress well. Staff monitor and observe children to identify any additional needs and, when needed, seek further support from external agencies. This ensures that all children receive support to reach their full potential.

Outdoor space

Children are engaged in varied experiences and activities planned by staff. They enjoy painting leaves in the garden area and confidently discuss autumn and the changing colour of leaves with staff members. Children are enthused as they build a hotel using toy bricks outside in the garden.

EAL / language support

Staff actively support children's communication and language skills. They recognise the importance of supporting children who speak English as an additional language. Staff confidently communicate with dual-language children. They use a good balance of the children's home languages alongside English. This supports children to develop good communication skills and enhances their vocabulary.
