They receive the extra support and resources they need to enable them to take part in activities. Staff create plans to ensure that children's needs are considered. Staff closely liaise with parents and outside agencies. Outdoor space The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this has on children's learning.
