Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision The provision to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is strong. Leaders and staff have a clear understanding of each child's individual needs and work closely with parents and other professionals to secure any additional support required. Staff swiftly identify when children need further help and implement effective strategies, such as using signing and picture lanyards to help support communication. Additional funding is used effectively to provide targeted interventions and sensory equipment, ensuring that children with SEND have the tools and experiences they need to achieve well. Outdoor space Staff provide children with opportunities to climb and develop physical skills using equipment such as climbing frames, scooters and bikes. The curriculum for physical development is well sequenced as staff plan to move children from pushing along on scooters to using pedals to ride bikes. Children wear wellies to enable outdoor play in all weathers, which restricts their movement and makes climbing and pedalling more difficult.
