[Claim this listing](/claim?nursery=mortimer-hall-ox3-0ph-ey496790) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision This inclusive and stimulating pre-school ensures all children can fully participate in what is on offer. For example, children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive full attention and highly tailored support. Their key persons skilfully reflect on the children's needs and interests daily and children make good progress. Children with SEND are afforded the utmost care and learning, and this is a real strength of this pre-school. Staff effectively employ various strategies, such as remaining nearby and assisting children who previously felt unsettled during sessions. These children now navigate the environment confidently and happily. Outdoor space Staff recognise the importance of providing lots of opportunities for children to engage in physical play. They plan engaging activities to help children learn new skills. For instance, children enjoy learning to use skipping ropes, using their leg muscles to jump off the ground with both feet. Their physical abilities are well practised. Children confidently climb large play equipment with little help.
