Staff have highly effective partnerships with external agencies, ensuring children achieve the best outcomes. Leaders have recruited a speech and language therapist to offer a higher level of language support, and children make excellent progress from their starting points. Outdoor space Staff know some children do not have access to outdoor play at home, so they hold weekend sports activities to promote and encourage children's developing physical skills. All children spend considerable amounts of time outdoors, with pre-school children thriving in the enticing forest school area, engaging in hide and seek, navigating slopes, making a rope bridge, and creating beds for their 'forest friends'.
