Inspection #10265289 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50213165) ## What parents say Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection > Parents talk positively about the education their children receive and say they are kept well informed of their progress. Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are very well supported. They benefit from small-group sessions to help them catch up and make progress in their learning. The special educational needs coordinator works closely with families and other professionals to develop strategies and build individual plans for children. As a result, children are prepared well for the transition to school. Outdoor space Children access the garden, sleep room and dining room via several flights of stairs, which helps them develop strong leg muscles, coordination and physical endurance. They also enjoy learning outside the nursery, visiting areas of interest within their community such as farms and local woodland to discover the natural world. EAL / language support Where children speak English as an additional language, some staff do not know the child's home language. This means that they cannot use this information to support their communication skills and personal development.
