Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders plan a curriculum that is ambitious for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The special educational needs and disability coordinator works closely with staff to identify gaps in children's learning. Children with SEND access smaller groups and targeted intervention to help them learn. Additional funding is used appropriately to support children's needs and interests.

Outdoor space

Children’s physical development is particularly well promoted. They have daily access to a well-equipped outdoor area and take part in a variety of sports-related experiences, such as yoga and dance class. Children demonstrate a great deal of strength and agility when using the outdoor equipment.

They work so hard loving and nurturing our little ones. Thank you so much for loving my son as much as I do. You are our extended family ❤️
