Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children make good progress from their starting points, particularly children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) is an asset to the pre-school. She sensitively supports the children and has high expectations of what the children can achieve. She provides stimulating and targeted activities, working closely with parents and other professionals to meet children's individual needs. The SENCo builds on what the children already know and prepares them for the next stage of their learning.

Outdoor space

The inspector observed the quality of education being provided, indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.
