Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision At times, staff do not tailor support to children's individual needs, such as when children struggle with measuring using bigger numbers or using scissors. Staff do not consistently consider more meaningful ways to support children's individual learning needs. Outdoor space Children clearly enjoy exploring the outdoor learning environment, laughing with their friends as they play. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact this was having on children's learning. ## Parent Reviews of Little Gems Pre-School (West End) 5.0 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocIBeJKYBDUOG7GEe8f6iUYdDCV9q39USA7jvB3F0Fl6DZa4OQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Geraldine Fletcher 7 years ago Love this preschool.
