Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well by staff. Additional funding is used to provide them with one-to-one interactions with staff to meet their individual needs. Plans are put in place to help children progress, such as to develop their interactions with others.

Outdoor space

Children in the pre-school room explore nature when they go with staff into woodland areas, collecting sticks to make pretend fairy houses. Children who do not walk outdoors have limited opportunities to support their learning and watch their peers, using gestures that suggests they want to join their play.
