Inclusion & environment
Staff recognise when children need additional support. They work with parents to ensure further advice is sought and provide activities to support children's speech and language, while waiting for professional interventions.
Staff recognise how children enjoy outdoor play and ensure they implement the curriculum fully in the outdoor area. Children learn about nature as they grow sunflowers and vegetables, and spontaneously water the flowers as they engage in outdoor play.
