This has helped her to link with other professionals, teachers and parents. Partnership working is especially effective for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities who attend more than one setting, with staff from both settings attending any necessary training, such as from a physiotherapist. Outdoor space Feedback from the nursery school has helped nursery staff to understand that they need to focus more on children's physical development. This has become a focus for children's learning.
