Ordinarily Available Provision
The Ordinarily Available Provision (OAP) document outlines the inclusive support and strategies that all early years settings are expected to provide for children with additional needs, without the need for specialist or high-level intervention. It focuses on high-quality teaching, effective adaptations, and a graduated approach (assess, plan, do, review) to support children to make progress within their everyday environment. The document also provides further information and practical examples of what OAP looks like in practice, helping early years practitioners to understand expectations and deliver consistent, inclusive support.
