Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress. Children with SEND are particularly well supported. Staff identify additional needs early and seek advice from external agencies.

Outdoor space

Children have direct access to the outside area, which allows them to further develop their physical skills, balancing on stepping stones and riding on bikes and scooters. Ongoing risk assessments of the outdoor environments ensure that they remain safe.

The care is fantastic, their admin and communications are on the ball and the team are great at finding extra space here and there when we need. My favourite thing though is that they have great links to the community and the children frequently go on visits. Great effort!
