Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are cared for exceptionally well. Staff are quick to adapt the routine of the day to meet their individual needs. Accurate assessment means that staff promptly identify gaps in children's learning, and referrals to external support services are timely. However, communication with these services is not always frequent, and some children's targets are not reviewed and updated regularly enough with the input of specialist professionals.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning. Staff put measures in place to protect children from danger when on outings.

Absolutely fantastic. After a negative experience at another provider we are thrilled to have found all the wonderful people at kiddo Caru Melton mowbray. Our daughter loves all the new and exciting things she is able to do and despite having a couple of wobbles, it’s handled so well. We cannot thank Ashley, Elle and the rest of the amazing team, enough for all the amazing work they do.
