Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

There is good support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff quickly identify children's needs and discuss these with parents. They work closely with other agencies, such as the local authority outreach team, to support children. Children with SEND make good progress in their development.

Outdoor space

Children further develop their understanding of nature as they grow fruit and vegetables. They eagerly look at photos and discuss the newly hatched baby robins found in their flowerpot. Children challenge themselves as they climb during collaborative obstacle course building.
