For example, the lead staff member for supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities regularly visits the setting and supports staff with any targets and individual plans. Outdoor space The manager is currently focusing on enhancing the on-site curriculum outdoors, so it is equally as exciting and challenging as indoors for those children who prefer to learn outside. Staff are currently unable to continue the woodland outdoor learning programme, due to restrictions, and the on-site curriculum outside is less varied than indoors. ## Parent Reviews of Emeralds Little Gems Daycare - Stanley House 4.0 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjXIxlzkm0q4Dkr_9ak5CoKTuKJR76ASGPgzdznqMwHlQfyYnRo=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) branchend news 8 years ago An email address would be helpful on this page.
