Inspection #10280471 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50218675) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. They work closely with other professionals, such as physiotherapists, to ensure that children make the progress they are capable of. For instance, staff adapt the environment so that children who need support with walking have the space they need to move around and be involved in activities. The provider uses additional funding well to provide toys and equipment that are used to help children make good progress. Outdoor space Older children are confident and relish the challenges the outdoor environment presents. Staff encourage and praise them and children are keen to show off their skills. Staff give them challenges to extend their skills, such as 'stretching to the moon' when they jump. EAL / language support Staff do not support children who have English as an additional language as well as possible. They do not routinely use children's home languages in the nursery, or have any discussions with parents about using home languages alongside English. Despite this, children are developing a suitable understanding of English. They follow instructions and both staff and children use physical gestures or objects to make themselves understood.
