Inclusion & environment
The manager and special educational needs coordinator liaise with a range of external agencies to ensure staff receive relevant training and children have access to any interventions they may need. The nursery supports children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities.
The well-equipped garden area provides a space for children to climb, crawl through tunnels and balance on tyres. Children respond well to staff as they guide and support them in navigating the space in the garden, allowing them to practise running safely whilst playing a team game.
