Supporting Children
if a child shows any signs that they may need additional support (speech, hearing etc). A member of the Leadership team will discuss with the parent possible ways in which we can help and will ask their consent before seeking input from outside agencies. Parents can of course refer their child themselves via their health visitor or GP. Children with specific educational needs are included in the playroom with the other children and if required will receive support to enable them to participate fully in all activities.
Claire Thorburn is the Additional Support Needs Co-ordinator for this establishment and parents/carers are welcome to speak with Claire with any queries you may have.
