Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Staff use assessment effectively to identify areas in which individual children need additional support. They work closely with parents to meet individual children's learning needs and to help them catch up with their peers. Those who need support with their behaviour learn to understand boundaries.
Outdoor space
Staff provide regular opportunities for children to play in the fresh air and to exercise both indoors and outdoors. However, they have not planned ways to enhance the outdoor provision, to provide a wider range of activities, particularly for those children who prefer learning outdoors.
