Inspection #10411937 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50288996) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Although during the inspection there were no children on roll with special educational needs and/or disabilities, the provider identifies children who might experience disadvantage and ensures that the curriculum is ambitious for all. Outdoor space The curriculum is still under development and review and is not fully effective in supporting children with their development when they play outdoors. Some resources are limiting, and, although staff supervise children well, teaching is less effective. As a result, some children do not appear consistently engaged in meaningful learning when playing outdoors.
