Staff work in close partnership with families and external professionals to ensure appropriate plans are in place for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Processes to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are securely embedded. Leaders proactively seek additional training opportunities and partnerships to widen the support available to children and families. Outdoor space Staff's enthusiastic and engaging approach during outdoor play leads to children showing sustained interest, enjoyment and deep involvement as they explore nature, harvest rhubarb for their lunch and prepare the allotment ready for growing vegetables. Children take great pleasure in the inspiring outdoor spaces and are very well supported to develop their physical skills. Older children climb a tree stump and celebrate each other's achievements, while younger children enjoy loose-parts play. EAL / language support Staff work in close partnership with families and external professionals to ensure appropriate plans are in place for children who speak English as an additional language. ## Parent Reviews of Oakley Kindergarten 4.5 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjVMEtRD_EW3KdOxTa6-NTASXQQ_Rd7rHN5GWLT2eX5H_N_pfUZ6=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba3) Nathan Cocker 8 years ago A lovely setting for children to grow and explore.
