Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Inclusion is a strength of the setting. Staff attend regular training to ensure they have a secure knowledge of child development and can quickly identify when children need additional support. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities benefit from tailored support that meets their individual needs, enabling them to make rapid progress. Leaders are passionate about caring for children's individual needs and work closely with staff to help them identify and support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders actively reach out to work in partnership with parents and other professionals to support children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Outdoor play is purposeful, promoting physical skills through construction and throwing games. Staff teach children how to count and measure items during these activities. Forest school sessions have recently been introduced, impacting children's independence, resilience, and understanding of the natural world, while also providing opportunities for older children to explore the natural environment and assess risk.
