Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress in their learning and development. The manager and staff quickly identify gaps in children's learning and development and put interventions in place. Gaps in learning and development are closing for children with SEND.

Outdoor space

Children enjoy daily outings outdoors. They learn to assess risks and how to keep themselves safe while crossing roads on walks to the local woods. They enjoy playing parachute games which supports their physical development, and practise their counting skills while playing hide and seek.

In the 2+ years my daughter has attended, we are so proud of the difference in her confidence and her abilities. She absolutely adores the teachers who go above and beyond to keep parents informed and updated with daily events. Laura has always been extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble in accommodating our daughters needs. I feel grateful to have such a brilliant preschool on our doorstep, with great facilities and friendly staff who are genuinely interested in the children. I would highly recommend and wouldn’t consider anywhere else!
