Inclusion & environment

SEND provision

Staff know children well and have high expectations for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The two special educational needs coordinators work effectively with children with SEND, swiftly identifying the children who need support and liaising with parents to ensure that each child's needs are met. Excellent partnership working with external professionals ensures that children received highly tailored interventions and consistent support arrangements.

Outdoor space

Children have access to large equipment and toys to challenge their balance and strength. Older children put on their shoes and collect their hats to go outside. Children eagerly explore a potion-making activity in the garden, carefully selecting flowers and practising pouring water.
