Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive exceptional support. Staff are quick to recognise and act on any concerns to ensure that children receive any early intervention they may need as swiftly as possible. The special educational needs coordinator works closely with parents and other professionals to implement highly effective plans that enable all children to be fully integrated into the nursery environment. The addition of a sensory room provides a calm and soothing atmosphere for children who struggle to regulate their emotions.

Outdoor space

Children especially enjoy the time they spend outdoors. Younger children have great fun as they stamp in paint wearing their wellington boots and make patterns. Staff introduce new words, such as 'splat' and 'stomp'. Older children twirl like a ballerina and play musical statures with dexterity.
