Inclusion & environment
Staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. They know each child's individual needs and specific requirements. Staff's ongoing relationships and collaborative working with other professionals are effective in meeting children's needs.
Younger children enjoy reading stories outdoors and use small containers to transport mud into a tray to play with the toy dinosaurs. The setting has enhanced the outdoor environment by displaying letters of the alphabet and plans to improve the outdoor area further to support children who prefer to learn outside.
Staff support children who speak English as an additional language. Staff use children's home languages alongside speaking English, to help children's understanding and extend their English vocabulary.
Staff really works hard to meet the children's requirement.
