The nursery special educational needs coordinator is experienced in her role. She works closely with each child's key person, family, and agencies to ensure that they receive timely intervention and targeted support to meet their development needs. Additional funding is used to ensure that any gaps in learning are identified and support is put in place. Outdoor space Children retell the story of 'The Three Little Pigs' outdoors. They use straw, wood and bricks to create the little pigs' houses. Children have lots of fun as the staff member 'blows down the houses' and children bury the wolf in straw. ## Parent Reviews of First for Childcare - York 3.3 (7) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocJpPNi9cLP-5Zb3LmC4Bqr0yC5QiflE3WLz-jOGw2w8m1tp3Q=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba2) Paula Astle 2 years ago My Grandson has been at Happy Jays for around 10 months and in that time this nursery is unrecognisable to what it was.
