Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Leaders and managers make sure that all children progress well in their learning and development. This includes children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff adapt their practice to help children with SEND participate in the activities on offer and the routines of the day. For example, they use picture cards to show children what is happening now and what will be happening next. This helps children with SEND to understand what is happening in their day.
Outdoor space
The manager and inspector carried out a learning walk of the indoor and outdoor provision and discussed the early years curriculum.

An amazing setting that that really holds your child at the heart of what they do. The staff are kind and helpful and take a real interest in your child. My daughter and son have both attended here and i couldn't of asked for a better start for them. I was kept up to date with their progress by their individual key workers and i really enjoyed being able to come in and join in with the children on their Christmas workshops and sports weeks. Highly recommend.
