Inclusion & environment
All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make excellent progress as there is an ambitious curriculum. Children with SEND have their needs identified quickly by knowledgeable staff. Effective strategies are put into place to support them, so they make rapid progress.
Babies explore the garden, learning to toddle and climb up to the slide. Leaders and managers recently renovated a large part of the garden to create more physical challenge for all children. The older children thoroughly enjoy this space, learning to climb the climbing wall and creating bridges and obstacle courses with large planks of wood and slices of tree trunks.
