Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff are responsive to any delays in children's development. They identify gaps in children's learning and work in partnership with parents and other professionals to provide early intervention for children to enable them to reach their potential. This includes using visual timelines and picture cards. Additional funding received for children's care and support is carefully used to meet their learning and development needs.

Outdoor space

Children confidently explore the indoor and outdoor environments with curiosity and make independent choices as they play. Older children practise their balance skills and develop their large-muscle movements as they ride wheeled vehicles and carefully walk across wooden bridges. Children's physical health is promoted well through nutritious food, regular fresh air and exercise.

Our boy went here 5 days a week for almost 2 years. The staff were always caring, informative. There is good space in and especially out. Couldn't have asked for a better, thank you.
