Inclusion & environment
Staff have expert knowledge of children's abilities and development, including children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. The manager and special educational needs coordinator work closely with parents and external professionals, monitoring individually targeted plans and using regular assessment to ensure children make the best progress.
Staff provide opportunity for children to spend considerable amounts of time outdoors. Children show agility and confidence while safely navigating large climbing apparatus, and staff encourage them to consider where to place their feet and which ropes to hold onto as they work out the best way across the beams.
