Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff work with parents and professionals when children have special educational needs and/or disabilities. They take prompt action to identify concerns and support them accordingly. Outdoor space Children enjoy playing outside and use the equipment safely. They learn new skills, such as how they can use their arms to help them balance as they walk on planks and learn how to change direction. The forest school supports children to be more adventurous outside and develop their physical skills further, for example, building up their confidence to venture down a mud slide. ## Parent Reviews of Ridings Pre-School 5.0 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLEG7zoL3xf7lA-WX9Qge6Nw9cuHin_G8IrhRUicWMQnnuE3A=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba3) Glenys Crooks 2 years ago Wonderful family friendly summer fair ☺️ reflective of the love and care provided by this happy community asset!
