Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children benefit from the focus that staff place on their communication and language skills, particularly for the children who speak English as an additional language. Staff narrate as children play, helping children's understanding and speaking skills.

Outdoor space

Children have lots of opportunities to develop their physical skills. They enjoy practising their balance and coordination on the ride-on bicycles and learn to balance on climbing equipment. Children also learn about mathematics in a meaningful way, playing with ride-along toys and bicycles outdoors and using pretend money in their role-play 'garage shop'.
