Inspection #10125980 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50299412) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, achieve well and make rapid progress from their starting points. Leaders have high ambitions for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and work closely with families to set personalised, aspirational goals and create a fully inclusive environment. Outdoor space Children settle quickly and immerse themselves in stimulating play indoors and outdoors. Younger children delight in dressing up as animals and experimenting with how to make water flow faster down chutes outside. Older children extend their imagination as they discuss what dinosaurs are eating and how they might escape a volcano. Additional funding is used effectively to provide enrichment experiences, including the provision of waterproof suits so children can access the garden in all weathers to help promote children's understanding of the world around them. ## Parent Reviews of The Leap Frogs 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjXLX1A6s0H4u38ZmjuzDiQStWv0jO0T71D-swTtf2JSli0uboZ2=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba4) Vikki Williams 8 years ago Geckos after school club and holiday club is very handy.
