All children are special and the appropriate support is provided to enhance the child’s all round development. We have established an effective method for total integration of children with additional support needs, and they are included in all indoor and outdoor activities within the nursery. The nursery has an effective working policy in the integration of children with Special Needs.
Parents/carers know their own children in a way that Key Workers never can. If you feel your child has a behavioural or learning difficulty, please share it with his/her Key Worker.
Your child’s Key Worker sees your child in a different setting and will share any concerns they may have about your child development.
The nursery is very fortunate in having strong links with the following agencies:
Bridgeton Child Development Centre
Parkhead & Shettleston Health Centres
Eastbank Learning Community Child Support Team
Within these agencies the nursery has access to Physiotherapists, Speech Therapists, Health Visitors & Educational Psychologists without whom we could not provide specialised support for both parents/carers and children. The nursery Psychologist offers support and guidance to Staff, parents, carers and children and may be contacted via the Child Support Team.
No child will be referred to any of the above without parental consent.
