Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are extremely well supported. Staff work closely with parents and external agencies to ensure that children receive the focused support they need. Managers sharply focus funding to meet the needs of the children, ensuring exceptional progress and the best possible start to their education. Outdoor space The indoor and outdoor environments are meticulously designed to meet children's needs, offering the same focus and high-quality experience. Children can independently access all resources, and staff support them while allowing them to explore and follow their own interests, for example, balancing on an obstacle course independently. ## Parent Reviews of Pre-School Academy 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjXotgwbxI2jtYVVpktdT2dMsK9suABQXQo-bxApqqRpZK8fl6c=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba4) Valeria Fragnelli 2 years ago Very nice setting.
