Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive all the support they need to get the most out of their time at nursery. The manager uses any additional funding to ensure this is the case. Staff who work with such children are skilled, confident and caring in doing so. They help close gaps in children's learning and also excel at their particular talents.
Outdoor space
There is a strong focus on outdoor learning for all ages. The way staff use this approach enhances, and in no way compromises, children's learning across a broad curriculum. Staff are very confident about children's capabilities, providing an environment that gives children lots of challenges to develop their stamina, coordination and balance.
