Another school was praised for providing “a safe and supportive environment”. The council says it is committed to ensuring children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) achieve the best outcomes in their early years, through nurseries, schools and beyond. Additionally, all seven maintained nursery schools in Newham have been assessed as good or outstanding by Ofsted. Six of these nurseries deliver the Best Start in Life (BSiL) children centre services within their local community. The seventh provides the SEND Hub and early years resource provision for the borough from Ronald Openshaw Education Centre in Stratford. Two area special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs) are based at Newham’s BSiL SEND Hub. The team also includes a practice support practitioner and children centre development officer. They provide support and guidance across private, voluntary and independent early education and childcare providers, childminders and children centres. This comes after an Ofsted report praised Newham Council's children's support services for making "significant improvements".
