Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive good support. Staff identify emerging concerns early, and identify next steps to support their development, including obtaining intervention from external agencies in a timely manner. Funding is used well to support children with SEND. For example, staff work with the speech and language therapists to support children with their speech.

Outdoor space

Children develop their large-muscle skills as they ride bikes with their friends along the road drawn on the ground outdoors. Children look for bugs under logs and excitedly show wonder when they find worms and beetles while staff help them remember the names of insects.
