Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is superb. The special educational needs coordinator works tirelessly to involve other professionals and ensure children receive the support they need. Staff recognise children's individual needs and adapt the curriculum and routines. This ensures that all children can participate at their own level in an environment in which they feel confident and comfortable.

Outdoor space

All children develop a deep-rooted enjoyment of being outdoors. They participate in outdoor activities daily. Pre-school children delight as they take part in a forest school session. They enthusiastically jump and splash in a large muddy puddle, squealing with delight as they cover themselves and their friends in mud.

Both our children attended. Staff are excellent and get the most out of the children by varying activities. Like the fact they are not afraid to get them out and about.
