Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. They are able to access the setting and the opportunities that staff provide for them. The staff work well with parents and wider professionals so that specific programmes of support can be implemented swiftly for children with SEND. Outdoor space Staff recognise that many children have limited access to outdoor play. As a result, staff provide many opportunities for children to learn outside so that they learn about the world around them. Outdoors, toddlers are provided with opportunities to develop pulling, pushing and climbing skills. ## Parent Reviews of The Hilltoppers 5.0 (1) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKdM7_c-Tj2I4yenOZgBm7p0wHZg2epLaU1q0Qd1838Rzsclg=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Rute a year ago My daughter joined when she was 1y8m.
