Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported to the highest level. The special educational needs coordinator applies her extensive knowledge to tailoring individual support plans for children. Staff work together with other professionals, such as speech therapists and early years support teams, to devise strategies and targets. Staff are consistent in following the plans. As a result, children make excellent progress. EAL / language support Children who speak English as an additional language are given the best possible support. Staff speak to children in their home language and English. As children progress through the nursery, the need to speak in dual language diminishes as older children can competently communicate using the English language.
