Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision The manager carefully checks children's progress and promptly identifies where children are at risk of falling behind. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress from their variable starting points. The manager works closely with parents when she identifies any potential delays in children's development. She signposts them to local services for advice and to check if their children need any further assessments. Outdoor space Staff provide children with regular opportunities to develop their physical skills indoors. Children use a range of equipment to practise their climbing, balancing, throwing, and kicking skills and have plenty of space to move around and negotiate space. However, children do not have regular opportunities to run around outside and engage in exuberant play, to learn about the importance of being active.
