Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff obtain information from parents before children start to find out what children already know and can do and their likes, interests, and routines. They use this information to carry out a base line assessment, so that they know where each child is on their learning journey. Staff use ongoing observations and assessments to track children's progress. This helps them to swiftly recognise any potential gaps in children's learning and seek additional support if needed.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy the time they spend outdoors as they climb, jump and balance. Staff encourage children to kick a ball at a target and offer lots of praise when the aim is achieved. Outdoors, children pretend that the playhouse is a kitchen. They collect leaves and stir them in a bowl before presenting them to staff to eat. This helps to foster their imagination.
