SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities)

First Place Nurseries strive to ensure all children are included. We believe that our provision should be open and accessible to all, and we take positive action in removing disabling barriers so that all children are able to participate in all activities.

Please be rest assured that our approach to SEND children and families will always be in a sensitive manner. We will meet with you regularly and plan together, the best steps for your child’s development using the four-part support cycle, 'Assess, Plan, Do, Review'.

Your child's nursery activities and experiences can be adjusted to suit their individual needs, so that they are able to reach for the same goals.

We have a SENDCo (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator) based in each First Place Nursery who will work in partnership with you, and any other professional agencies involved to ensure your child is supported in the best way possible according to their individual needs.
