Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who face other barriers to their learning make rapid progress. Staff accurately assess children's starting points and developmental needs and implement effective support plans to help close gaps where possible. Staff work very closely with parents and carers and other professionals to tailor and refine activities and teaching strategies to help children reach their potential. Outdoor space Staff provide a wide range of stimulating outdoor activities that successfully promote children's enthusiasm for physical activity and build a deep appreciation of the natural world. Children have ample opportunities to learn and play outside, promoting their understanding of how to keep themselves safe on apparatus. They wear appropriate clothing so they can have fun and benefit from fresh air and daily exercise regardless of the weather. Children of all ages delight in getting ready to go outside, demonstrating high levels of independence as they do up zips and pull on boots. They take great pleasure in expressing themselves freely and build strength and coordination through movement and laugh with joy as they jump in puddles. Older children listen carefully to instructions and increase their spatial awareness as they weave in and out of cones.
