Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff monitor children's development each term and work with the nursery's special educational needs and disability coordinator (SENDCo) to identify and address any gaps in children's learning, seeking additional support from outside professionals when necessary. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities make progress from their individual starting points over time.

Outdoor space

Children have a lovely attitude to learning, particularly in the outdoor area. They learn to plant fruits and vegetables and explore minibeasts in the bug garden, showing perseverance and determination when learning to use the water butt independently.

EAL / language support

For children who speak English as an additional language, staff use electronic devices that enable them to hear key words in their home language, promoting effective communication.
