How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff effectively support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) by using sign language and visual displays. They regularly communicate with other professionals to share information, helping them to actively plan and support children with SEND to make good progress in their learning.

Outdoor space

Children benefit from lots of fresh air and exercise, developing good physical skills. They excitedly ride on wheeled toys, and young children enthusiastically use small brushes to paint a large board with water, which helps develop arm strength for early writing.
