This means all children are able to make the best progress possible. Parents of children with SEND value the support they and their children receive. Outdoor space Children have plenty of opportunities to play outside in the pre-school garden. They also benefit from regular visits to places in the local community, where they benefit from fresh air and exercise. However, staff do not consistently plan these purposeful outdoor activities to maximise children's learning.
