How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive good support from staff. Staff monitor children's progress closely and are quick to identify when children need additional support to meet their development milestones. They work closely with the local authority and parents to ensure that children receive targeted support.

Outdoor space

The outdoor environment is a hive of activity, providing endless possibilities and enabling children to lead the way. For example, older children work as a team to make pirate soup, and younger children access the mud kitchen and enjoy finding and washing animals.
