How they support every child
SEND provision
All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are fully included in this welcoming nursery. Leaders and staff work closely with parents and other professionals to provide children with the support they need, including carefully planned interventions. They regularly assess children's progress to accurately identify any gaps in learning and provide consistent support to help them develop necessary skills and reduce learning barriers. High-quality strategies, such as precisely planned interventions, are implemented based on knowledge and skills gained through training and collaboration with other professionals.
Outdoor space
Children enjoy outdoor play, engaging in physical activities and imaginative games, zooming around the garden on bicycles and rolling big hoops to each other. Younger children learn to use tools to dig in the sand as they play together. All ages benefit from outdoor play, where they test their physical skills and take risks in their play.
