How they support every child

SEND provision

Professional relationships between staff at the nursery and other agencies benefit the children. For instance, staff learn strategies to support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. This helps them to meet all children's needs effectively.

Outdoor space

Children are excited by puddles outdoors. Staff then suggest that they go and explore in the water tray to develop this interest further. This supports children to build on their learning.
