[Claim this listing](/claim?nursery=tiddlywinks-pre-school-ox25-2rd-133889) Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff and leaders have worked hard to embed a high-quality provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff work closely with parents and other professionals to provide children with personalised support plans to help them make the best possible progress. Any additional funding the pre-school receives is used to support children's individual needs. Outdoor space Children's physical development is promoted well. Children have opportunities to climb, balance and run freely in the outdoor area. However, sometimes when children come together outside, the teaching does not closely match the most immediate learning needs of the children taking part.
