Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff plan an ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children with SEND are supported well. Staff work well with parents and involved professionals to understand and meet children's needs. Staff ensure that strategies are used in line with the advice and guidance provided so that children receive a consistent approach to their care and learning.

Pre-school children are proficient climbers. They independently scale the climbing net, use their arms to keep steady, and pull themselves up to the top. The inspector observed the quality of education being provided indoors and outdoors, and assessed the impact that this was having on children's learning.
