Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision All staff plan an exciting curriculum to entice children, including for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to explore, have a go and develop the necessary skills for their future learning. The manager and staff work very closely with parents and external agencies to ensure targeted support for children already identified with SEND is maintained. Early interventions are sought for children who may have emerging needs. Outdoor space Children benefit from lots of meaningful learning outside. During a football activity, children practise their physical and listening skills and follow instructions well. They wait to hear the words 'go' or 'blast off' before they kick the balls. Children scream with delight as they race to retrieve their ball and place it back on top of the cones. ## Parent Reviews of Wilford Village Playgroup 4.2 (5) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKEsB4QS-ZyadXc-Y19EJrag-1M0RYOehP82MZHTxTxB5F9KQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Evans Oppong Sakyi 4 months ago I want to thank the entire staff for your support during my ward stay.
