Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff respond sensitively to children with special educational needs and/or disabilities where large group activities may upset them. They pick up on children's interests and use this to engage in something relaxing, such as looking at books and talking about what they can see.

Outdoor space

Children's safety is assured both inside and outdoors. Risk assessments and safety checks are completed each day to ensure children remain safe at all times. Children learn to keep themselves safe. They learn how to use large-play equipment safely in the garden, use small tools, such as scissors during art and craft activities, and cutlery at mealtimes.

My daugher's have just started and I cannot recommend highly enough. It was their first official day today after 3 settling days and I can just tell that although they are exhausted and sound asleep that they have had a wonderful time. Thank you to all the staff. 1 very happy mommy.
