Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/ or disabilities (SEND) ask appropriate questions to find out information and comment on aspects of their natural world. Staff ensure that children with SEND receive the early help that they need. They liaise with parents and other professionals and thread advice into children's individual learning plans. Additional funding is used well to close any gaps in children's learning.
Outdoor space
Staff teach children about the world around them. They encourage children to quietly look out for birds, such as 'Rocky the robin', when playing outdoors and children delight when they see them.
