Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, build close relationships with their key person. Managers and staff quickly identify gaps in children's learning and implement strategies swiftly to support individual needs, accessing external services like speech and language support and other health professionals for targeted support to narrow developmental gaps. Outdoor space Children relish opportunities to play outdoors in the unique play areas, particularly enjoying visits to the woodland area where they learn safety rules and engage in conversations about the natural environment. They also take risks and are physically active, scrambling up rope ladders and tree stumps, and using rope swings. ## Parent Reviews of Meadow View 4.0 (4) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocIVmZVagsDHJZQ1pNfYhb7WOZJqfFExBGndCv5bo6MPDSSbRA=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Laura Tusa a year ago We had enquired about a space here and we were told we need to pay a deposit for the form to be processed.
