Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children who have barriers to learning, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make steady progress from their starting points. Leaders identify children's emerging and developing needs with accuracy and create an inclusive environment where children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), feel they belong. Staff adapt provision so all children can take part in ways that suit them. Leaders monitor the impact of any interventions and use targeted activities to meet individual children's needs. Leaders work with external professionals and follow specialist advice to help ensure that all children's needs are met.

Outdoor space

Daily outdoor play supports children's physical development. Children also begin to learn how to assess risks and learn how to make safe choices, such as noticing when equipment is wet or slippery. Outdoors, they run, climb and explore with enthusiasm.

EAL / language support

Staff use communication boards, visual aids and other tools to support children's understanding and language development.

Kayleigh and her team are amazing and provided me with the exact service I required on the day. Kayleigh demonstrated an outstanding attitude towards employee and child safety and provided significant contributions to solutions and discussions. A very positive experience that demonstrated an exemplary attitude to work, no doubt reflecting their commitment to outstanding child care and education. Thank you.
