Staff have high expectations for all children, closely monitor their progress, and use successful strategies to monitor the impact of adaptations, including additional funding for one-to-one and extra sessions. Outdoor space Children engage in cooperative play both indoors and outdoors. Physical development is prioritised through a range of activities, including riding wheeled toys and using pipettes and sponges to promote strength and coordination. However, there is less focus on children's learning during outdoor play.
