Inclusion & environment
The manager and staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. They work with other professionals and have targeted plans in place to meet children's individual needs, including helping them to manage their behaviour when the routine of the day changes.
Staff ensure children are physically active. They initiate a game of hide and seek in the garden for three-year-old children, who run energetically around. Staff carry out daily risk assessments outdoors to minimise risks.
