Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The manager and staff are very quick to identify children who require early intervention and additional support. These children receive exceptional individual care and attention, and they are fully included and encouraged to be involved in all activities. As a result, children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make very good progress and have support in place, ready for school.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy their time in the outdoor area and have lots of opportunity to explore in the fresh air. Staff are highly vigilant, and they teach children the importance of managing tasks. For example, children safely manoeuvre across the balancing beams and jump off blocks.
