Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those from disadvantaged backgrounds effectively. They adapt teaching for children with SEND by using language slowly and clearly, using keywords, repetition, and gestures, ensuring all children with SEND make progress. Leaders ensure that pupil premium funding supports individual children's needs and enhances their learning opportunities.

Outdoor space

Children have daily opportunities to play outdoors. Staff complete daily checks in both the indoor and outdoor areas; these highlight any maintenance issues, which are quickly resolved. The well-resourced outdoor space allows children to develop physical skills, with toddlers digging in the sandpit and pre-school children racing tricycles or playing basketball.

EAL / language support

Staff do not effectively promote communication and language skills, especially for children who speak English as an additional language. Leaders do not consistently share relevant information with staff to support these children effectively, and staff sometimes fail to support these children in engaging with activities.

The staff are amazing here and really care for all the children. They treat all the children with kindness and respect. I was allowed to stay with my daughter while she settled in at the start and she is now thriving. She loves it here. I’m a very happy mummy.
