Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make very good progress over a short period of time. Staff are highly effective in identifying individual children's learning and development needs, with a sharp focus on supporting speech and language development and social confidence.

Outdoor space

Children take pleasure in the freedom they have at nursery to explore and play, both inside and outdoors. They enjoy the opportunity to run, play games and climb safely as they practise their developing physical skills. Outside, children demonstrate their growing vocabulary and confidence as they spontaneously sing songs and use their voices.
