Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those in receipt of additional funding are well supported. Funding is spent thoughtfully to provide the extra sessions, meals and resources that children require. Staff work closely with outside agencies to ensure that children have appropriate support in place.
Outdoor space
Staff working with babies are sensitive to their needs and routines, and they quickly form attachments. Staff considerately plan the environment to support babies' new physical skills. For instance, they ensure there are lots of opportunities for babies to pull themselves up on low furniture.
