Inclusion & environment
Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well with their individual plans and one-to-one support. This helps these children to make good progress in their learning and development.
Staff provide good opportunities for children to benefit from fresh air and enjoy outdoor learning. Following on from spotting lots of birds in the outdoor space and noticing some nesting birds, staff provide children with binoculars and pictures of birds to identify the different species. This helps to promote children's interest in nature and living things.
Fantastic pre school with brilliant caring staff.
