Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff are skilful in adapting questions or instructions, putting them in simpler terms and providing visual prompts. This is particularly helpful to those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders check that assessment processes quickly identify any gaps in children's learning so that all children, including those with SEND, make good progress.

Outdoor space

Children show independence skills as they get themselves ready to play outside. They run about happily in the large open space and look for coloured balls hidden in the bushes and between the flowers. They benefit from having access to a wildlife area where they can watch the birds and learn more about the natural world.

I've used this preschool for two/three years now and will continue to use them. I have sent two children there and will be sending my next child there. The setting is beautiful and well thought out. All the staff are amazing. My children love attending rainbows. As they are happy it makes me happy.
