Inclusion & environment
The special educational needs coordinator is knowledgeable and understands the importance of acting on concerns about children's development. She works well with staff, parents and other agencies to put specific plans in place to support children's development, offering training and support for staff and implementing and reviewing support plans and targets for all children. Additional funding is used suitably, including to buy resources and provide experiences for the children, to help close any gaps in children's learning.
Children have regular opportunities to play outdoors and engage in physical activities, such as pedalling vehicles and climbing up to use the slide. Young children enjoy a lively dance session outside.
