We welcome all children regardless of additional needs. We have adapted and received training to ensure we can cater for some complex needs, this has included bolus feeding, suctioning, epi pen training and we have implemented PECs. Staff have worked closely with speech and language therapists, portage as well as many other professionals to ensure that we are a truly inclusive setting.
Training is an ongoing process and is reviewed periodically or when we are aware of any changes to a child's needs.
