Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff adapt the play environment and their teaching during interactions to meet all children's needs, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff speak enthusiastically about the ongoing simple signing they are all learning, which supports their communication with the youngest children and children who need additional support with their communication.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy their time outdoors. They have fun running about and chasing each other among the leaves, explore nature and work together to roll away a heavy log. Children talk about the differences in the colours and shapes of the leaves they collect for a later activity, and pre-school children arrange to take turns with their peers to use the equipment.
