Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff's support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is exemplary. The SEND coordinator is proactive in supporting parents, gaining additional support from other agencies without delay, and provides highly-trained support to help identify early support for children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Staff provide lots of opportunities to develop children's physical skills. Children thoroughly enjoy their 'wake up and shake up' activity, moving their bodies in different ways to music, which helps the youngest children to negotiate space and follow direction.
