For example, they use signs and symbols to reinforce language and support understanding. Staff prioritise early communication by modelling simple instructions and encouraging children to repeat sounds during familiar stories. Staff demonstrate strong practice in supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They complete relevant training, understand when to implement individual learning plans and carry out research to deepen their understanding of children's needs. They share this information with parents to promote consistency between home and nursery. Staff use language screening tools to identify gaps in communication and plan next steps. As a result, all children, including those with SEND, those facing barriers to learning, and those previously known to social care receive timely, well matched support that helps them make progress. Outdoor space Children enjoy their time outdoors and being physically active. They build up their confidence as they climb on the climbing frame and enjoy using the magnifiers to look for caterpillars on their bug hunt. Children learn how to keep themselves healthy through regular outdoor play. ## Parent Reviews of Hollies St Mary's 4.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjXo0RaN-xm2msvd-acZwAhOajITzdiDQg4u6ZSazFh2nba90j2R=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Margie 9 years ago Good for the elderly and people who can't get out on there own much to socialise with others [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUN3ajh6NDBnRRAB!2m1!1s0x487b1e297f76288d:0x91d2fac7e3c8ef9f) Reviews from Google for Hollies St Mary's.
