Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders have high expectations for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders work closely with parents to ensure that children receive their full entitlement to early years funding and work flexibly to support parents of children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Children play outdoors every day in all weathers. Babies are encouraged to pull themselves to stand and are helped by the staff to safely scale low-level equipment. Toddlers enjoy climbing on apparatus outdoors and use small tools, such as a trowel, to dig in the mud.
