Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children benefit from abundant opportunities to develop their speech and language skills. For example, during 'sparkle time' sessions, staff skilfully captivate children's attention. Children listen intently, learn new words and begin to focus for extended periods. As a result, all children, including those who speak English as an additional language, become confident and skilful communicators.

Outdoor space

The nursery routine includes daily physical exercise in the garden. Staff are focused on encouraging children's physical play in the garden. Staff identify and minimise potential risks, indoors and outdoors, to provide a safe and secure learning environment.
