Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported to engage in learning that helps them to develop their skills. Positive partnerships with other professionals, who can offer support and advice, strengthens the support for children with SEND. The key-person system ensures that staff know children well, including their backgrounds and any barriers to learning they may face. Interventions, such as helping children to regulate their emotions or reduce distress, are well thought out to help children adjust and feel safe, ensuring their inclusion alongside peers. Leaders effectively use funding to support individual needs, identify additional support, and provide training for staff to identify learning barriers quickly and precisely.

Outdoor space

Outdoors, staff help children to develop an understanding of their bodies and their physical development. Children enjoy jumping, climbing and balancing. Staff encourage children to think about how they can safely practise these skills.

The staff here are brilliant, my little girl loves it and runs in on a morning and doesn’t want to come out. The new member of staff in the baby room is brilliant as well as everyone else in there doing a great job😊

Such lovely staff, my little boy started just a couple of weeks ago & settled with the amazing lady’s more or less within a few days! I just know when he’s there that he’s looked after and I have no stress or worries when I leave him, I love the relationship and trust he is building with the workers ❤️ xx
