SEND provision
Leaders use local data and information from schools to help shape their curriculum. They work closely with staff to accurately assess children's starting points and build on what children need to learn and experience next, which helps deliver targeted support for each child. Staff also utilise structured activities in their routines to deliver small interventions for communication and language, helping children make progress in their developmental milestones.
Outdoor space
Children routinely explore the outdoor space to help them develop a range of skills to support their physical development. Staff expertly dive into children's play outside, helping them to be active. Children enjoy climbing up the bank and moving in a variety of ways.

It's been really lovely having a setting so close to home, especially as both my children love/d attending this pre school. A safe, calm and welcoming setting for my children to thrive in. They are always packed with ideas to get the children involved and active. Both my children settled really well and my eldest still talks about the wonderful times she had there, after 3-4years since she left.
