Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is strong. Staff work closely with parents and professionals to ensure all children get the high-quality experiences and teaching they need to build a strong foundation in their learning ready for school. Outdoor space Children enjoy pretending to 'walk the plank' as they develop their balancing skills on pieces of wood and tyres outside. Children also find bugs in the garden and learn the names of these different insects, using newly acquired vocabulary to tell staff what the bugs are called, what they like to eat, and where they live.
