Inclusion & environment
The manager and her team provide strong support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff identify effectively any children who will benefit from additional support and provide targeted interventions to help close any gaps in their learning. They work closely with parents and other professionals to adapt their approach, ensuring they understand each child's unique needs.
Children benefit from fresh air and exercise. They have access to a large outdoor space, where they have opportunities to explore and develop their physical skills. However, staff do not consistently plan activities for babies to be physically active indoors.
