Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The manager effectively draws on group assessments to identify the effect the COVID-19 pandemic had on children's learning and development. Staff arrange one-to-one time for children who need additional communication and language skills support. For example, during focus-time groups, key persons use a targeted intervention to boost children's language skills to narrow the gap between them and their peers. All staff receive regular training to support children with speech and language delays.

Outdoor space

Children benefit from and have plenty of opportunities to be physically active indoors and outdoors. Children strengthen their large muscles using bicycles and tricycles. They excitedly run and squat during their games.
