Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
There are high expectations for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The two special educational needs coordinators work well together and with staff to support children with SEND, communicating regularly with parents and other agencies to update and implement children's support plans. Managers make good use of local authority funding to provide individual support for children who need extra help.
Outdoor space
Children develop good control of their movements while energetically riding bicycles up and down the gradual slope in the garden. They plant and grow fruit and vegetables in the nursery garden and learn about recycling. Younger children make discoveries as they crawl in and out of small dens and learn to jump safely off old car tyres in the garden. Older children enjoy climbing the branches of low-level trees in the nursery garden. Staff encourage children to take risks within safe limits and conduct robust risk assessments, teaching children how to stay safe during outings on nature walks.
