They work closely with other professionals, such the local authority special educational needs advisor and speech and language therapists, to ensure they tailor children's learning to meet their individual needs. The manager makes sure that any additional funding the nursery receives is used effectively, for example, to provide one-to-one support or to purchase extra resources for children.
