Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Where children need additional help to catch up with their speaking skills, staff work closely with other professionals to support this. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress from their starting points. Where children need additional support, staff take swift action to make timely referrals to seek this. Consequently, children, especially those in receipt of additional funding and those with SEND, gain the support they need.
Outdoor space
Children learn routines that promote their physical health and welfare. Staff teach them about healthy food and drink choices and the benefits of active play. Children gain good physical coordination skills as staff encourage them to become confident in their own abilities.
