Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Staff know children well. They identify any gaps or delays in children's learning and plan steps to address them. For instance, staff recognise delays in children's social development following the restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, or periods of personal trauma. Staff provide many opportunities for children, such as visits to local shops, meals at the garden centre and sharing games. This helps to develop children's confidence and support them to build friendships.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy the many opportunities for physical activity. Children learn to take sensible risks and challenge themselves, such as crossing the road safely during frequent nature walks and visits in the local community. Staff are vigilant and ensure that children play in a safe and secure environment, indoors and outside.
