This includes ideas on how to support their children's learning at home. Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress in their learning and development. Staff use assessments effectively to determine children's next steps in learning. Additionally, staff teach children simple sign language to help them communicate before they have developed their spoken vocabulary, which particularly helps children with SEND. EAL / language support Children who speak English as an additional language are fully included within the provision. Staff work with families to support the development of children's language skills in their home language as well as English. Staff share children's home languages and cultures with all children, with parents recently recording themselves reading stories in their native tongue for all children to listen to. This helps develop children's sense of belonging as well as their language skills. Simple sign language also helps children who speak English as an additional language to communicate.
