Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Partnerships with parents are strong. Staff and parents work together to bring about better outcomes for children, including those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The management team and staff work effectively with other agencies involved in children's care, such as Portage and speech and language therapists.

Outdoor space

Children develop their physical skills effectively as they play outdoors in the fresh air in their secure bubbles. They take managed risks as they climb, balance and jump. This boosts their confidence in their own abilities.
