Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Parents comment that staff have been instrumental in accessing help from a range of professionals for their children. All children, including those in receipt of funding, make good progress. Staff use funding effectively to help children make progress, for example, recent funding has been used to help children to regulate their emotions. Staff training in this area has helped staff to understand how they can support children effectively.

Outdoor space

Children have fresh air and exercise as they play in the garden or play in the park. As they walk out of the nursery building, they know they have to hold onto the fence. Older children happily find a partner as they get ready to go to the park. Staff talk to the children about how to cross the road safely as they walk to the park and children talk to their partners about what they can see.
