Inclusion brings various benefits:
* Staff gain experience in planning environments and activities at which all children can succeed.
* Children who are shy or come to nursery with little experience of play can be helped when staff are always asking: is that activity, that way of talking, that piece of equipment developmentally suitable for that child?
* Children have the opportunity to get to know everyone in their local community. They can experience being around other people with differing abilities, which can help them feel comfortable with their own differing abilities and levels of confidence.
