Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff work with other professionals to set targets to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They share information with teachers at schools that children will move to, helping them to understand children's abilities and individual needs from the start.

Outdoor space

Outdoors, staff sit in a pretend fire engine with children and talk about the vehicle going 'fast' and 'slow', helping children to understand about speed.

EAL / language support

Children who speak English as an additional language are not supported as well. For instance, staff do not adapt their interactions with children to help them understand what is being asked of them and to support their language development.
