Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders are passionate about providing opportunities for children to access enriching activities in their club. This includes those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, those who are disadvantaged and those who face barriers to their learning. They adapt the environment and resources so that every child, including those who face barriers to their learning, can experience success. Leaders actively seek information from parents before children start at the club to make thoughtful adjustments and plan approaches to support the needs of every child. Leaders are committed to ensuring that all children, particularly those who are vulnerable or disadvantaged, can access the enriching experiences the club offers.

Outdoor space

Children benefit from a balance of planned activities and free play, as well as daily outdoor play. This supports them to begin making choices about physical activity. Resources are matched to children's stages of development, ensuring that all children, including those who face barriers to their learning, can access and enjoy the activities. Leaders deliberately choose a venue with direct access to an outdoor area, ensuring children have daily opportunities for active play. This helps children develop their physical skills, understand how to keep themselves healthy and safe and contributes positively to their overall wellbeing.
