Inclusion & environment
Leaders ensure children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive high levels of support throughout their early education. Staff work closely with other professionals involved with children's development and leaders build strong relationships with local primary schools to support children's transitions.
Leaders plan effectively to make the most of the outdoor space and staff use a wide range of equipment to support children's physical skills; children climb and balance with ease. Staff also plan trips to the beach and local open spaces to enhance the curriculum, and children's physical development is supported well.
