Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are particularly well supported. Their skilled key staff understand their needs very well and work with other agencies to ensure that support is timely. Additional funding is spent appropriately.

Outdoor space

Staff make good use of the outside spaces so that children benefit from regular fresh air. They also visit local parks where there are larger areas to run around. Children practise their physical skills outside as they balance on planks and throw and kick balls. Babies develop their core strength as they learn to pull themselves up on low tables. Children's physical development is promoted well.
