SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive tailored support to help them progress in their learning. Staff work closely with parents and other professionals to ensure that children receive the support they need, and additional funding is used well to provide one-to-one time with staff.
Outdoor space
In the garden, children continue creative activities while others develop strength in their large muscles as they run and climb on the hill. Older children are motivated to help tidy up their toys before going outside to the garden.
