Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
The manager and staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities extremely well. They are swift to intervene when children are not progressing as expected, working closely with a wide range of other professionals and using shared strategies to promote children's development. The manager uses additional funding effectively, providing children with one-to-one adult support and special resources to support children with complex needs.
Outdoor space
Children are highly motivated and active. They delight in challenging their physical skills on the obstacle course that staff create. Children show strength and coordination of their bodies as they stride over wooden circles, step through ladders, and balance on wobble boards. Children take suitable risks as they climb on structures to observe the birds.

Both my children attended the pre school here. There are no words other than brilliant! Staff are all experienced and have an approach that is hard to find elsewhere! I felt confident that my children were in safe and loving hands whilst they were there. The building is big so there was always plenty of activities set out inside and a lovely outdoor area. Highly highly reccomend !
