Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children who are in receipt of additional funding are supported well. The manager ensures that any additional funding supports children's individual needs.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy taking part in a wide range of opportunities to develop their physical skills. This encourages them to take reasonable risks in their play. For example, they balance on crates and negotiate space as they use ride on cars and bikes.

EAL / language support

Children who speak English as an additional language are supported to practise English and some words in their home language. However, there are fewer opportunities to help children use their home language in a range of different ways.
