Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff show high regard to supporting children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Children use picture cards to aid their communication skills and to express their emotions. Individualised planning and close working with parents and other agencies enable all children to make good progress. Inclusion funding is used purposefully to obtain resources that relate to children's individual learning needs. Outdoor space Children choose where they want to play from the range of indoor and outside activities set out by staff. However, sometimes, staff do not encourage children to follow their own interests and self-select resources to promote their independent learning skills further. ## Parent Reviews of Sankofa Day Nursery 5.0 (4) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjXMeOai4M9cek6r3dXiFgJ3mUZAR6iQe-6OkLNZcTS8IQMYpTT3=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Nadia Phillips 5 months ago Lovely nursery staff are very understanding and helpful also making you fell comfortable to ask any questions and give advise when needed great environment for the children [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT201YWJrY3pYMGRGTlZkcWRUbHROVEkwTlVjMFdVRRAB!2m1!1s0x4876030344505f35:0x6a565857c593ffd5) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLkohExt8j7Sl-n-evtJdKwQwqM_zjKBq25AuSfIRXPEWHFMals=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Fatimatu Umor 12 years ago Very excellent pre-school, very caring and lively.
