Children with additional needs

All children are warmly welcomed and valued equally and all have individual needs that we work hard to ensure are fully met.

Some children have very specific needs that relate to their health and / or general development.

These needs may include particular routines that the child must follow to ensure their continuing health and well-being. For example they might have sight, speech or hearing difficulties or mobility problems. We have staff who are trained to support these children.

If you have a child who has additional needs our aim is to work closely with you and other health professionals who may be involved. We will support you in seeking specialist equipment if this is required. Our practice of regular observation and assessment of children's play, learning and development will keep you fully informed and provide you with examples that may be shared with all those involved with your child's care.

If you would like more information please speak to the nursery manager who would be happy to talk to you about your child's specific needs and to plan with you how these will be met.

Staff will liaise with other professionals and undertake any additional training required to ensure that your child's needs are fully met.
