Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. The manager and staff are skilled at identifying needs and offering appropriate support, leading to early interventions. Staff also work closely with other professionals like community nursery nurses and speech and language therapists to provide consistent care. As a result, children with SEND make good progress.
Outdoor space
The manager plans the curriculum so that children benefit from outdoor experiences. Children ride wheeled toys and use steps to stride and balance, which helps them build their core strength. They also explore nature, finding worms in the garden and observing them, which builds their experience and knowledge of the natural world.
