Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The special educational needs coordinator and managers work in partnership with other professionals to ensure that staff receive specialised training to be able to meet the individual needs of all children. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress from their starting points.

Outdoor space

Children benefit from experiences that help to promote their physical development. For example, children whizz around the outdoor area on bicycles, racing down the incline. Children show great strength and determination as they work together to carry the trays they need for their foot spa. Children snuggle up as they enjoy stories read by staff under the cover outside.
