This ensures that children meet the 'ambitions for learning' set by staff. Consequently, children with SEND make outstanding progress. Outdoor space Children learn how to explore and solve problems in the well-resourced outdoor area. They learn how to dress and undress themselves when they change into waterproof clothing to play outdoors.
