Those leading in supporting these children have attended relevant training, enabling staff to understand their individual needs and support their progress appropriately. Staff make reasonable adjustments, where necessary, to meet the needs of all children, for instance, using picture cards to show the day's routine. Outdoor space Regular access to outdoor play enables children to move in different ways and provides opportunities to run, climb and develop physically. Staff join in children's play and help them to practise their coordination as they build, kick balls or climb the steps to the slide. Children play regularly outside and practise climbing and balancing and develop coordination, for example, as staff play tennis with them. ## Parent Reviews of Lane Pre-School Playgroup 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLpLcOu4TLaPeCQ5L96_Mft-mXr6q-Yw1A-F7UeEoKHueKzuQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Lloyd Robison 5 months ago Very happy with Lane and the amazing work they do.
