Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. They work well as a team to quickly identify children who may need additional support, working with parents to implement targeted support and complete relevant referrals to other professionals. The nursery also makes good use of additional funding, for example, purchasing specialist equipment to enhance children's sensory needs.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy their time outdoors as they develop their physical skills well. Young children are supported to develop their hand-eye coordination as they use ladles to collect and scoop crab apples, while older children are helped to take and manage risks as they solve problems when they climb low-level trees.
