How they support every child
SEND provision
The manager and staff swiftly identify children who need additional support through their regular assessments. They work in partnership with parents and other professionals to ensure a suitable curriculum is put in place. Where formal plans are needed, these are completed in time for children to move on to the next stage in their learning.
Outdoor space
Children explore the different ways their bodies can move. Staff challenge them to stretch and reach up to paint a wall with water. Children enthusiastically make marks on the ground using chalk. Staff recognise the importance of these activities to build children's core strength in preparation for developing the muscles they need to become confident writers.
