Choosing a Nursery for a Child With Additional Needs

Questions to ask about inclusion, communication, adaptations and support for children with additional needs.

โ† All Early Years guides

Every child is different, and families may want to understand how a nursery adapts its environment and practice to support individual needs.

Ask early

Tell settings about your child's needs and ask what adjustments they can make. Ask how they communicate with parents and other professionals when appropriate.

A setting should be willing to discuss inclusion in practical terms rather than simply saying it is inclusive.
