Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children benefit from staff's thorough knowledge of them, with staff expertly adapting their teaching approaches to create challenging and inclusive learning experiences where all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can flourish. Children with SEND are swiftly identified and receive personalised support in the nursery, enabling them to make accelerated progress and close learning gaps.
