Inspector highlights
Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) thrive because staff have a secure understanding of their learning needs. Staff collaborate with parents and professionals and have used early years pupil premium funding extremely well to support disadvantaged children and children with SEND.
An exciting outdoor curriculum ignites children's interest. Children are keen to search for bugs and examine ice balls, and they learn to hop, balance, climb and use wheeled resources with the support of staff, thriving in their physical development.
