They create smaller spaces within the room to support children who need a quieter area. For children with SEND staff use objects of reference, such as water bottles and snacks, to help them understand there is a change in routine. Support for children with SEND is well embedded. Staff monitor children's development closely and complete additional screening on their communication and language development. Any gaps in learning are addressed swiftly and targeted support is implemented. Timely referrals to outside agencies are made. This means children with SEND receive the support they need to make progress from their individual starting points.
