Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff monitor children's progress to help them recognise any delays in their development. They seek advice from other agencies when necessary, to ensure that children receive any support in the quickest time possible.

Outdoor space

The garden areas are designed to give children the opportunity to explore. Children excitedly ride bikes around the pretend road. Staff plan walks around the local area to help children learn about the area they live in. They use these walks to look and teach children about season changes. Indoors, children and staff enthusiastically take part in a dancing session. This helps children to develop control and coordination of their bodies.
