Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff provide good support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. For example, staff act on suggestions from health professionals to help to provide consistent support for children's development. They use sign language and visual prompts to help aid children's understanding and communication.

Outdoor space

Children benefit from daily access to fresh air, exercise and green space. They are taught to care for plants and creatures. For example, they grow potatoes and sunflowers in the enclosed garden. Children dig in soil and plant bulbs. They care for caterpillars until they turn into butterflies and search for insects, using magnifying glasses. Children build strength as they roll tyres up and down slopes in the nursery garden.
