Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff have high expectations for all children, including children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They plan interventions, such as regular meetings with parents to encourage a joint approach towards children's learning.

Outdoor space

Staff identify that children who live in flats may not have access to the outdoors, therefore they plan for daily experiences in the garden and the wider community. This supports children to become well-rounded individuals. There is scope to improve staff deployment, particularly when children free flow between the indoor and outdoor environments.
