Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress. Staff form good relationships with outside agencies, such as speech therapists, which helps support children's progress effectively. Managers ensure additional funding is used to good effect to allow children to benefit from a wide range of learning experiences, including baking, dancing and football sessions.
Outdoor space
When children explore water play outside, staff allow children to rehearse known skills rather than utilise opportunities to stretch children's thinking skills further. Children know to line up with their hats at the ready when they want to play outside on sunny days.
