Local Offer and SEND Provision
Wellingtons is an inclusive setting which strives to meet the individual needs of all children. We work in partnership with children, parents and outside agencies to provide the best possible outcomes for all our children, including those with a range of additional and complex needs.
Our policies form the basis of clear procedures, which ensure that high expectations, early intervention and appropriate support for all children are in place to ensure they reach their full potential.
Menu
Our menu is changed termly and food is prepared fresh on site each day by our cook Helen. We use guidance provided by the The School Food Plan and Early Years Alliance to ensure we provide appetising and nutritious meals. We incorporate children’s learning into our mealtimes, occasionally deviating from our menu to incorporate special events such as Chinese New Year. All allergies and special diets can be catered for.
