How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff ensure they know about children and their families to enable them to build strong relationships with all. Staff offer higher levels of support to those children who are new to the setting, and this helps them to settle quickly. Key workers know their children well. Staff understand the care and learning needs of the children from their starting points and the use of accurate assessments.

Outdoor space

Children access the outdoor area and engage in group activities of running and walking and following instructions. Children learn how to be independent as they put their own indoor shoes on after outdoor play.
