Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff recognise when children need additional support and target their planning appropriately. They make timely referrals to outside agencies and use additional funding to help narrow gaps in their learning, ensuring children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make progress from their unique starting points.

Outdoor space

Toddlers confidently dress themselves for outdoor play. Children enjoy practising hitting balls over a net to each other as they develop their hand dexterity, hand- eye coordination and large muscles. Younger children develop their balancing skills as they 'walk the plank'.
