Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified swiftly. Staff seek advice and training from the local authority and other agencies, such as speech and language therapy, to provide intervention and support. This helps to ensure children with SEND make progress in their learning and development. Outdoor space Staff support children to be physically active. Children use a range of skills as they enjoy chasing bubbles, climbing, balancing and using scooters in the outdoor area. This has a positive impact on children's physical development.
