The Nurtury

The Nurtury provides an inclusive and well-resourced provision for children aged 2-5 years with additional needs. We offer a calm and nurturing space that encourages children to be confident, independent and active learners. A qualified SEN teacher leads a team of experienced and dedicated staff to deliver interventions and support to enable children to meet their developmental milestones, using a combination of motivating and developmentally appropriate resources and highly effective intervention and support strategies. Our Nurtury provision is fully integrated within our nursery environment. This allows flexibility for children to move around the whole nursery environment.

The Nurtury provision may be appropriate for your child if they present with any of the following profiles:

● Children with 12+ months developmental delay.

● Children with very early communication skills, including expressive and receptive language who would benefit from intensive support to develop their attention and focus.

● Children who have specific sensory needs, or those who may display sensory overload in louder or busier environments.

● Children who require significant additional support with their self care and independence, including toileting, dressing and eating.

● Children who have a physical disability, including those who are visually or auditory impaired, and those with limited mobility and physical impairments.

● Children who have limited emotional regulation and display difficulties with separation anxiety.

The Nurtury is… 

● a calm, quiet, sensory based space
● run by a fully qualified SEN teacher
● have a much lower ratio of staff to children than a normal nursery ratio
● focus on the children’s needs through their individual learning plans
● liaise with outside agencies such as Speech and Language Therapists, Physio etc.
● support your child and your family in applications for additional support that may be required as your child progresses through education
