Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

This helps all children to make exceptional progress from their starting points, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those with additional support. Staff receive excellent support from the nursery's special educational needs coordinator (SENCO); all leaders and staff provide excellent support for children on the pathway to diagnosis and are extremely knowledgeable about all the children who attend. The SENCO works closely with each child's key person, family, and relevant agencies to ensure children receive targeted support and appropriate interventions to meet their individual needs.

Outdoor space

Older children relish the wealth of outdoor experiences to the woodland, farm, and forest school areas. Children benefit from these rich opportunities to learn about the world around them and to be physically active. Furthermore, they grow vegetables and plants, build on their language and have opportunities to learn about taking risks in a safe environment.
