Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is very good. The nursery's special educational needs coordinator works closely with the manager and very competently with parents and other early years professionals. Children with delayed speech and language, including those who speak English as an additional language, benefit from effective targeted interventions delivered by trained staff. This helps to ensure that gaps in learning are identified, and all children make good progress.

Outdoor space

Older and younger children have opportunities to play together in the outdoor areas. All children can move freely into the outdoor area at any time of the day. They play with hoops and are praised as they are taught to roll and push and match the action to the word. Older children hold big branches and measure them against each other, discussing which one is the tallest.
