Inclusion & environment
Staff work closely with other professionals to help children with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to ensure that they continue to increase their development and help them catch up with peers. Leaders value each child's differences and provide a high level of support and appropriate intervention for children with SEND.
Children demonstrate perseverance in the large, well-equipped outdoor area. They solve problems in teams as they work out how to build their own obstacle courses. Children have very good physical skills and demonstrate a 'can-do' attitude for challenging tasks.
