Childcare for Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

All nurseries, pre-schools, and childminders should welcome young children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Some services aim to offer something extra, so if your child's needs are complex or severe you may be looking for something more specialised. Providers who have specific experience have been asked to highlight the level of experience and type of support they offer.
