How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are provided with targeted interventions to aid their communication with others. For example, at snack time they give a picture of the fruit they would like to eat to a member of staff at the table. This is an inclusive way to show that all children's choices are valued.

Outdoor space

Children love being outdoors in the fresh air. They play cooperatively and make up their own games, such as hide-and-seek. Children skilfully run around obstacles and climb on large equipment, showing good agility and controlled movements.
