Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

N/A

Outdoor space

Pre-school children are supported to build an assault course and then are supervised by staff while they negotiate it by carefully walking across raised planks over shallow water and jumping between boxes. This also supports children's good physical development by allowing them to develop and practise their gross-motor skills.

EAL / language support

Staff talk positively about their recent training to support children who speak English as an additional language and the positive impact it has had on their practice. As a result, children whose first language is not English are developing good communication skills and have opportunities to share their home language with staff and peers.
