Therefore, it is not possible to extract any information about the nursery at this time.

Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Staff have received some specialised training for supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. However, this has not led to high-quality practice as the support, opportunities and experiences put in place are sometimes of a variable quality, and engagement with parents and carers about plans for children's learning is inconsistent. Leaders have not considered how to effectively use early years pupil premium funding to target gaps in children's learning to raise their level of achievement. Outdoor space Leaders encourage children to access fresh air and be physically active outdoors. Children balance on stepping stones and use ride-on toys, which helps to develop their physical skills. Leaders have identified the outdoor area as an area they wish to develop, so that children have even more learning experiences when playing outdoors in inclement weather. ## Parent Reviews of Woolpit ARC 5.0 (2) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjV67whM0W-2iNKCbCHR9Ukc9r5WimZ1pnop5SoD5L-01Dnv45k=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Hayley Charman 5 years ago Woolpit preschool has been nothing but friendly, helpful and accommodating since my child has started there.
