Inclusion & environment

## How they support every child

SEND provision

Leaders take particular care to adapt the curriculum for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff are knowledgeable and work with other professionals to create individual learning plans for children. They collaborate with other professionals and contribute to children's education, health and care plans. Parents enthuse about the exceptional care and support that staff offer, especially for children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy time outside each day. However, staff take all older children outside together, which results in overcrowded areas and limited options for children's creative play.
