	Children with Additional needs All Children have additional needs at some point. A child may go through a particularly emotional time for various reasons or they may be physically affected for example if they break an arm or a leg. Some children are born with additional needs. All children have individual needs that may require support in various ways. We believe that all children have a right to play alongside their peers and that it is our duty to provide the necessary support to enable this to happen. We work alongside parents and professionals to make our setting accessible and plan the environment and curriculum in a way that is flexible and responsive to the children and adults who attend.
