Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Staff work closely with parents to help babies listen to and join in songs and rhymes that introduce them to new language skills and vocabulary. They further support children’s language development through specific learning programmes, such as Makaton.
Outdoor space
Staff are vigilant and ensure that children play in a safe and secure environment, indoors and outside. Children learn to play safely but adventurously as, for example, they confidently clamber on the netting of their climbing tower or ride their vehicles together.
