Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

The experienced special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) recognises when children need extra support. She seeks advice from other professionals about possible support and funding to improve outcomes for children. She works with staff to create individual plans and to organise small-group times to help children make good progress.

Outdoor space

Although the nursery does not have an outdoor area at present, children enjoy opportunities for physical activities throughout the day. They participate in regular 'wake and shake' routines and enjoy daily outings in the local community. Staff use areas of the large hall safely to encourage children to move and run around.
