They know the importance of supporting children's additional needs and work with outside professionals when needed. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those in receipt of additional funding, make good progress from their individual starting points. Outdoor space Children make the most of being outside in all weathers. They dig and scoop in the sand and enjoy chasing bubbles as they blow in the wind. These activities help to promote their good physical skills, testing their strength and coordination. EAL / language support Children who speak English as an additional language receive helpful support to learn new words in English. Staff frequently change between speaking Polish and English to develop children's communication skills and understanding.
