Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress given their starting points. Staff monitor children's progress and quickly identify areas where additional support or challenge is needed. Staff take prompt and effective action to ensure that every child is well prepared for school or their future learning.

Outdoor space

Walks to the local park are cleverly used to teach children about nature and safety and help to develop their physical skills. As children walk to the park, staff give them time to look at the produce sold on the local market stalls and to observe the flowers and the changing colours of the leaves. This helps children to learn about their own community and the wider world.
