The provider has recognised the importance of creating a dedicated SEND team to provide expertise and support to children, parents and the rest of the staff team. Partnership with other agencies is highly effective, and professionals who visit the nursery remark on how inclusive it is, and how much progress children with SEND make. The special educational needs coordinator spoke to the inspector about how they support children with SEND. Outdoor space Staff make maximum use of the highly stimulating outdoor space. Children go to the shops and choose the seeds they want to grow in the garden. They create their own bug hotel and learn about bees when a beekeeper comes to the nursery. Staff have painted road markings outdoors and children are reminded to ride their tricycles on the left to avoid collisions. Visits to the local beach and to forest school sessions help children to find out more about their local environment. ## Google Reviews of Forest Friends Childcare Redcar 5.0 (4 Google reviews) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocJ1z_BEhbJbOBwLfK_yKYx7sf-e3HYbcCHsOKv_YNII1OVKxA=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Chloe Coxon a year ago My daughter was part of the first intake and has remained here ever since.
