Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Parents value the two-way flow of communication that ensures children's interests, progress and next steps are shared. Staff support them to access additional services if children need extra help with their learning. The provider uses additional funding effectively to help narrow gaps in children's learning.

Outdoor space

Children behave well because they are busy and stimulated to learn. Outside, they take part in team games, where they begin to understand the importance of following instructions and rules. They play cooperatively and learn how to keep themselves safe while using outdoor equipment.

EAL / language support

Staff support children who speak English as an additional language well. They find out about children's progress in their own language and obtain key phrases from parents. Children soon show a good understanding of English. They begin to use more single words and put two words together.
