Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff observe and assess children's progress frequently and this helps identify any gaps in learning. They use this information to develop and plan targeted support to ensure all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make the progress they are capable of.

Outdoor space

Staff encourage and support children's physical skills. For example, they provide large apparatus in the garden that helps children explore and manage their bodies in balancing and climbing. Staff are close by to provide the help children need to build confidence and develop their resilience to keep trying.
