Don’t send your child if they have SEN. Very unsupportive in this aspect. Couldn’t support my child’s referral and didn’t spot any of the signs even when multiple meetings were held with both healthcare visitor and parents. My child does to a new nursery now who are taking me seriously and offering support in several forms.

Awful experience. Neglectful staff who are running a business not a nurturing nursery.
