Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders and staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. They are aware of children's individual needs and have tailored plans in place to support these. The special educational needs coordinator has a secure knowledge and understanding of how to make referrals for children with additional needs. This ensures that children get early help and make good progress in their learning.

Outdoor space

Children have ample opportunity to play outdoors in the secure play area. They have fun moving their bodies in different ways, such as through running and using the slide. Staff provide different obstacles for children to play with, such as crates. This supports them to develop their physical skills.
