Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision The special educational needs coordinator has a secure understanding of how to identify and support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). She liaises with the local authority advisers to coordinate extra support for children with SEND. This helps to ensure that these children make the best possible progress. Outdoor space All children have the opportunity to experience physical play that is challenging and tests their limits. For example, younger children climb over and manoeuvre car tyres and use low-level balancing and climbing equipment. Furthermore, staff take the older, most able children to the local outdoor playground, and all children enjoy regular walks where they can observe farmyard animals. EAL / language support However, staff do not always fully support children who speak English as an additional language to use their home language to enhance their speaking skills. ## Parent Reviews of The Little Den Day Nursery 5.0 (5) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjX_JLJrjXsbB-sqCUDGOrOaspvJXThxS8ZfyWATtblwPxCJ7K29=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba2) Chloe Oakley 11 months ago My daughter attended here for a couple of years and now my little boy goes here.
