Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
The well-thought-out curriculum supports all children to move towards their current learning goals, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The special educational needs coordinator is passionate about her role and committed to helping children with SEND achieve their learning goals, supporting all staff to provide consistent approaches and teaching that meets individual needs. Any gaps in children's development are swiftly identified and targeted, and supportive plans are put in place.
Outdoor space
The provider has made changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a strong focus on outdoor play and learning. Children embrace this, animatedly talking to staff about things they hear and see, and are keen to practise drawing skills and name shapes with ease as they trace with chalks on the pavement.
