Inclusion & environment
The special educational needs coordinator understands the local referral procedures and knows how to access additional support and advice for children.
Children are able to make choices about indoor and outdoor learning. In the garden, they are able to enjoy outdoor play, but obstacles can cause frustration and limit opportunities to strengthen their physical skills.
I went to this nursery because they have a place for my son. I attended to the tour and I was verbally offer a place before Christmas. I gave notice on the current nursery and I did not hear from cornerstone never ever again after sending emails and phone calls. Now I have been forced to request annual leave at work and have to stay at home with my son because he has no where to attend. Very professional and trustworthy!
