SEND provision

The nursery's special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) works with staff to provide an inclusive provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The SENCo meets weekly with staff to discuss learning plans. However, the role of the SENCo is not yet fully established, and leaders do not always have a clear overview of how some SEND funding is being utilised.

Both of my daughters are at Leaps and Bounds and to say they love it would be an understatement! They have learnt so much since joining. The outside spaces for both babies and pre-school rooms are brilliant and have certainly helped my girls with their confidence to explore! All the staff are fantastic, friendly and quickly become my daughters “best friends” which is all we can ask from them. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery in the Brislington area.
