They explain that staff communicate with them about what their children particularly enjoy during the day, what they need to learn next, and other information about what they have eaten. Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff find out about children's experiences outside of the setting and work alongside parents and carers to address any gaps in their learning. This includes children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. However, at times, staff do not recognise when some children need tailored support to help them make the most of their learning during their chosen play. Outdoor space Staff encourage pre-school children to develop their road safety knowledge while playing on ride-on toys outside. However, most learning outdoors is incidental, as staff do not plan outdoor activities or give enough consideration to what they want children to learn during this time.
