Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Staff provide good levels of support for children who have special education needs and/or disabilities. They promote their language development by singing, reading, and repeating sounds children make. Staff use facial expressions and physical gestures to help children communicate and introduce sign language during daily routines. They also use objects of reference to support children's understanding of routines.
Outdoor space
Leaders improved the outdoor area to give children better access and found that children accessed the equipment and used the outdoor areas more. Children learn to ride bicycles and use stepping stones to develop core strength and balance. Children also develop their mathematical knowledge during outdoor play.
