How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and staff are committed to providing an inclusive provision that meets the needs of all children, and especially children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. This aspect is very strong, considerate to children and their parents, and embedded with empathy and understanding. Staff endeavour to adapt the provision so that all children benefit from rich early years experiences. Leaders work very closely with the staff, other professionals and parents to provide focused individual support for children who need extra help. Additional funding is used for targeted intervention and specific resources to help children's progress. For example, a sensory hub has been built in an area of the garden.
