Inclusion & environment
The special educational needs coordinator supports staff in identifying children who may need extra support with their learning and development. Together, they work with parents and outside agencies to ensure children with special educational needs and/or disabilities have the support they require to make continued good progress.
Children enjoy fresh air and exercise as they play outside. There are plenty of opportunities for all children, including babies, to practise and develop their large-muscle skills. For example, children are confident at climbing on the apparatus and negotiate space well as they pedal on bicycles and trikes.
