Special Educational Needs

At Woodlands Park Nursery School & Children’s Centre and Rowland Hill Nursery School & Children’s Centre, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment in which every child is welcomed, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Our Beliefs & Ethos

We believe every child is unique and deserves a tailored approach to learning, development, and care.
Inclusion is at the heart of our practice: children with differing needs learn together, benefit from diversity, and enrich one another’s experiences.
Our aim is to ensure accessibility, equity, and the highest possible outcomes for all children, in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage.

How We Support Children & Families

We plan carefully for each child’s needs, adjusting provision so all can access learning and develop.
We work in close partnership with parents and carers to make each child’s experience meaningful, enjoyable, and effective.
We draw on a network of internal and external specialist services (health, local authority, therapists, etc.) to support children’s progress.
