Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff are kind, patient and supportive of children with special educational needs and/ or disabilities (SEND). Children with speech and language delays enjoy small-group activities to practice turn-taking and repeat simple phrases. Support for children with SEND is very good, and highly effective development plans, targets, and relationships with other professionals ensure children make the best possible progress.

Outdoor space

Children thoroughly enjoy playing outdoors and being physically active. Babies explore different textures in a barefoot trail, toddlers confidently make marks in sand and on whiteboards, and older children climb, balance, and jump off crates in the woodland area. Staff support them to take risks and children role play and make observations about nature while playing outdoors.
