Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported by staff to make good progress. Staff liaise closely with outside professionals and implement useful strategies to support children, such as using picture cards to aid their communication. This helps children to follow routines and make their needs known.
Staff ensure that children have a wide range of activities and resources in both the indoor and outdoor environments. Children learn how to keep themselves safe, for instance, they enjoy using challenging equipment safely, such as swinging and moving along hanging bars.
