Inspection #10417077 · Source: Ofsted [View full Ofsted report](https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50287473) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Weaknesses in support for children aged two to three years with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and staff's delivery of the curriculum, have an impact on the progress these children make overall. Staff identify gaps in children's learning and recognise their individual areas of difficulty. Leaders make referrals to other agencies when appropriate and work with parents and professionals from other external agencies to put support plans in place for children with SEND. Outdoor space Children have regular opportunities throughout the day to be outdoors in the fresh air. Older children play imaginatively in the mud kitchen and have space to be active and enhance their physical development. However, staff do not consistently create sufficiently inspiring play opportunities for the youngest children, who do not have a varied enough range of learning opportunities to support their all-round development when playing outdoors. ## Parent Reviews of Tick Tock Playgroup 5.0 (3) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocLH0dqdqyEuaxBpgV4FprJjSqmHv9ztwos_LMh3w6E3Oqv_=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Ana S 6 years ago Lovely staff,best nursery ever.
