Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. Staff work together with the special educational needs coordinator to address identified emerging gaps in children's development. As a result, all children make good progress.

Outdoor space

Staff ensure that the correct number of adults are available to help children learn and stay safe while in the large outdoor area. Staff are passionate about using the natural area to help children learn a range of skills. For example, children learned how many scoops of soil filled a jar of 'mud bolognese' and told the inspector all about the caterpillars eating the leaves. Therefore, children are becoming inquisitive learners.
