Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Early intervention ensures that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, or children in receipt of additional funding, have the targeted support that they need from the very start. Staff quickly work to identify what children's needs are and make adaptations in the environment.

Outdoor space

Staff plan a range of activities outside, with regular visits to their allotment and forest school, as well as daily use of the pre-school garden. Staff recognise the importance of these rich learning opportunities and identify, for example, how not all children have access to an outside area at home.
